Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm

Wow! Amazingly beautiful spot. Gorgeous property to walk through while following the markers to locate the trolls through the woods and beyond. Well worth the small cost of admission. Park near the visitor center if you are planning to see the trolls. There are other parking areas which lead you off onto other trails away from trolls. I typed Aullwood Audubon Visitor Center into Google maps to locate directions to parking lot where you pay entrance fee, get map and directions to view trolls. Closed on Mondays, and short hours other days- check photo with hours attached. General admission is free for children 3 and under, $8.00 for children 4 to 12, $12.00 for adults 13 to 64, and $10.00 for seniors which includes viewing all of the world class sculptures by Thomas Dambo, the world’s leading recycle artist from Copenhagen, Denmark. I love that his stories and sculptures originate from the joy he got from telling stories to his younger sibling, growing up. “He has a unique vision as a world renowned creator and recycle art activist. His use of reclaimed and repurposed materials and his goal to help people reconsider what they regard as 'trash' is central to that vision, and is an important conservation message that Aullwood shares. In Aullwood's specific “The Troll That Hatched an Egg” exhibition, birds, nature and conservation are all reflected in the trolls’ story as written by Thomas Dambo. The “The Troll That Hatched an Egg” story is posted in the lobby of the nature center and farm discovery center, as well as being available online and available for purchase with a commemorative troll map for $5.00.” Thoroughly enjoyed the walks to see the trolls through the absolutely beautiful grounds. All were accessible by walking along paths or meandering through fields in foot . At times there are inclines, roots, rocks. I saw a couple of families using strollers and wagons successfully to support children as needed. Total walk we made to see all trolls and farm animals was 2 miles. Being that you are walking up and down across rough terrain at times ( and in hot weather conditions the day we visited) the walking distance seemed further than that. The natural beauty of the park is amazing. Well worth a visit for so many reasons! Highly recommend- I made a return visit to accompany family members on their first visit again recently.
