More than 1,700 acres of poppy fields and lined with trails featuring a variety of flowers.

We visited on April 8 from 10:30-12:30, the weather conditions were perfect, warm with a light breeze. The poppies were open and along with the other wildflowers made the landscape spectacular. No photos do the super bloom justice. All those little flowers bursting with color, covering the hillside and the valley is so very beautiful. The bloom starts miles outside of the park and people pull over to take photos all along the road. It is one of the most stunning sites ever. The park is so popular that by 12:30 on Monday, the park closed the gate to cars. You can park outside and walk in. Check the weather conditions and the park’s website before going because the area can get very windy. The park is well managed with flush toilets that were clean, nice picnic area and visitors center.

Have you ever heard your tires play a tune for you as you drive down the street. The street is strategically grooved to make your tires vibrate "The William Tell Overture" if you drive the exact speed limit. Go try it it's free and it's on the way to a fantastic park where you can fish, walk your dog, or let the kids run and play. ENJOY!!!

If you enjoy sports, but do not want to spend a lot this is the place to go. Our family of four enjoyed watching the Jethawks play while sitting almost front row behind home plate. Tickets were about $15 or $17 per person. There are concession stands that have the basics and the food was good. We enjoyed our time and will definitely go back while we are here!

Apollo had long been one or family's favorite local parks. Great for walking clubs, birthday parties, BBQ's, picnics, enjoying nature, feeding the ducks, fishing, (if your into that), and a general relaxing atmosphere. Three different lakes, multiple playgrounds, and picnic areas, clean restrooms on campus, nearby fox field so watching small planes take off and land is always entertaining especially while lounging on one of the boardwalks. Don't forget on the drive over to Apollo Park to literally drive over the musical road that plays the William Tell overture. See if your friends and or children can name that tunes. Take lots of pictures and don't forget to bring bread for the ducks!

A super value destination. The admission and drive is worth it. A relaxing trip in local history with the unique architecture and a wealth of native American displays. the second floor is not for the handicapped, but mobile seniors should make the effort upstairs for the presentation. The trail is a good viewing walk when the weather is not too hot.
