This is an amazing place! The trails are well maintained and easy to walk. The indoor exhibits are gorgeous and many of the sculptural installations are a fun addition when you are outside. Very excited to come back and spend more time here in the summer!

Tower Hill is amazing all year round. However don't forget about it in Jan/Feb when you are craving to see some green in the middle of winter. Come to Tower Hill and enjoy the warm greenhouse full of plants and life. It can get you past those deep winter months.
