Always a good choice, lots of wildlife and birds to see. The kids absolutely love it here. The harmony playground is great different structures can be used to make sounds, there's also a slide. Wishhart Trail is great but be prepared it's about 4 or 5 k long, I wouldn't suggest taking this trail with a stroller or anything but it could be doable if you have good wheels on your stroller. Plenty of boardwalks to check out. And lots of signs telling you about the plants, animals, insects, and history of the area. In summer definitely bring bug spray and water. Also in summer they do a goat run, where they heard goats down the trail, the kids love to watch them running. There's also an information center with a gift shop and bathrooms. They do lots of cool nature learning activities that you can sign up for.
Great walking experienced. There are uphills and downhills along the way. There are scenic spots that you can really enjoy the view. Some gravel and some are paved pathways. Lots of birds chirping around. Lots of trees shades. We saw some deer running around the bush. Highly recommended for walking.
First time here and was a totally amazing experience. Thank you so much Kiana and Annika for the advice and warm and inviting welcome such great staff. We will be back really soon.
