We had so much fun here. We arrived just as they were feeding the reptiles and our girls enjoyed watching the turtles eat. We really enjoyed the relaxing walk on the walking paths and watching the rain from the covered dock. But my favorite was sitting on the top of the dock and enjoying the view.

Read moreA wonderful, inexpensive outing. Between a fabulous day on the water kayaking, then wandering around the property, reading what they are doing, trying to find and identify birds and working on the children’s activities, one could easily spend half a day.
