My kids love this place so much that on a day we couldn’t go, they built it instead. It is truly the perfect outing for 1-5 year olds and beyond. It is so thoughtful and hands on. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to share such a lovely place with our kids. We became members even though we live 35 min away.

It is a lovely little museum/exploration area. My kids loved seeing all the animals and being able to feed the tortoise. Lots of educational activities. We enjoyed our time there. Beautiful views.
