The gardens are prepping for the Fall Pumkinfest and it’s very nicely decorated. Aside from that, the garden deserves a 5 star rating all on its own. Peaceful, tranquil, and yes, kid friendly for those in a stroller or able to comply with the many signs to “please stay on the path.” The indoor conservatory has some interesting fowl and water features. The gardens aren’t huge, but definitely a big win for $5! Make sure to try the kaleidoscope over the bowl of succulents outside of the conservatory - super fun!!!

Small zoo with some big animals, including lions, bengal tigers and bears. Well worth the visit. Took about an hour. Very reasonable cost at $4-5 per person. Very informative staff.
