A great magic show, loved the up close and personal relationship with the audience! We've seen several magicians and Sean-Paul does an amazing job! Looking forward to taking our 7 year old granddaughter next week, she wants to see him cut his arm off and cut the woman in half! She's hoping the ghost talker will read her mind-good luck on that one!

Sitting in the Thorncrown chapel with my son on Sunday morning surrounded by the beauty of the foliage and enjoying the incomparable beauty of the architectural experience of the glass and steel structure listening to the sound of gently falling rain and rustling leaves. Such a soul soothing experience.

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!

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.

This is set on the side of a hill and there are several streets to wander. We almost made the mistake of only seeing the street with the visitors center. You have to go up the hill to see so much more. My husband even grabbed a few cigars at a good shop.
