  • Such a charming place. Good for a chilly day and a short hike. Cute visitor center with super friendly staff and the best gift shop I’ve ever seen at this type of facility. We visited on a winter’s day, I look forward to coming back in the summer!
  • Knowledgeable staff giving expert tour around the center. Everything was beautiful inside and out. My 10 year old daughter enjoyed the displays inside.
