Reviewed By 689olavih

The place was very renovated and also very cool to see railroad guns and old military things, there were bunkers which you could go into, and there was a firing range which at the beach I found a bullet shell. Laten on I found 4 more shells and it was great. There was a nature area which you can go into to look at animals. You would get to see alot of other islands on the boat as you were going so it was just altogether so great!
