My wife and I decided on a whim to visit here and take in the "more than meets the eye" show . The staff was very friendly, the host was fun and informative and the show was very enjoyable. As a bonus, they had telescopes set up outside to see the moon and the stars.

Trails were well groomed and easy to navigate. Saw lots of deer. Trail maps were available. It was a little windy. Once we were in the wooded areas, it was perfect for a winter walk. Great way to end 2019!
