The best wildlife refuge experience we have had! The staff were extremely knowledgeable and very kind, you can tell that they truly love what they do and take great care of all of their wildlife which included bears, big cats, a few smaller species, and a very spoiled monkey! The “retired” age animals were especially well cared for, love what they are all about and what they do for these beautiful animals!

Blue Spring Heritage Center

Botanical Gardens on the beautiful White River and a stop on the Trail of Tears. 39 million gallon a day bottomless spring. Museum, and two short very informative films Bluff Shelter listed on the national register of historic places

Reviewed By kren250 - Iowa, United States

We visited Blue Springs on June 12. The springs were flooded: completely under water (you could sort of see the stone outline under the water), and the walkway around the springs was closed. You could still walk the higher boardwalk around it. Despite the flooding, it was still absolutely gorgeous. The water had a greenish tinge. You could see fish swimming. The gardens were beautiful. I didn’t expect them to be as extensive as they are. I got a lot of really great pictures. The Woodland Gardens were very peaceful. Plus the ramp is much easier going up than having to climb steps. The drive up to the Blue Springs Heritage Center is very scenic. They also have a nice gift shop.

Onyx Cave Park

Reviewed By stephaniev990 - Oklahoma City, United States

We had a blast here! The cave was very cool and fun to walk through. Only downside of it is that you have to wear headphones and it’s all recorded. Unable to ask questions during the tour or have a personable guide. The price was good as well!! However, axe throwing was our very favorite part of our whole trip. We did half an hour and it was amazing. Highly recommend.
