What travellers are saying
- TafierceNorth Bay, Canada208 contributionsA very nice relaxing walk once you get out of the openness. I thought at first it wasn't that great until we got further along the walk. We saw some cool birds and at one part you are along the water. You can walk out to the beach if you want in some areas. You could sit and relax if you choose. The look out is nice. Some people ride bikes as it can get long depending on the path. I did find the map signs weren't the best. However, I was in no rush, so it didn't really matter. It was quiet in the morning. My kids went there on January 1st and it was busier. I would go again.Written February 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IsitgoodbadSheffield86 contributionsMy family and I really enjoyed walking around this museum. It is well planned out and interesting. There’s something for everyone of all ages.

- KateSHot Springs, Arkansas, United States4,862 contributionsWhatever you think you remember from American History, you should go here to learn more! Interesting movie! The nature walk was fabulous, AND dog friendly. There's not much to the visitor center but I understand they are adding new exhibits. I loved it here.Written March 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KarenBlanMinooka, IL6 contributionsIt was such a sweet walk! Tons of dolphins. Great park also for the kids with a splash pad! Lots of places to sit and just watch the water! So peaceful!Written February 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GrandTour2165641 contributionLoved the game and fourth of July fireworks. Concession lines are unbelievably long. The line my husband and son waited in ran out of popcorn as they reached the counter to order. They were asked us to wait but after an hour wait we never got popcorn. My husband missed a lot of the game.
Also, the exit system for after the game was stressful. It was hot, and all 4000 + attendees were herded through the same exit to leave. Very unsettling when you are crammed shoulder to shoulder and have little kids.Written July 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We spent several hours here learning about the buildings, artifacts, and history. Also visited the cemetery across the street. Fascinating.Written February 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tyler DBirmingham, AL4 contributionsNice quiet place for a stroll. The pond area is amazing with lots of bird activity and features a row of unusual fruit trees with identification markers. There is a small platform with a swing to overlook the pond. Very calm and meditative area when we visited.Written December 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- andrew wZephyrhills, FL5 contributionsThe market was great, lots to see. Bought some items at decent prices. Lunch choices were limited BUT just enough variety to satisfy all.Written February 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Suzie GMedford, OR47 contributionsMany cute houses with interesting art pieces inside. Unfortunately, many houses were closed. There were also some fun places to eat and music too.Written February 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aubrey M7 contributionsIt was great the only downside I could find was the sand even leaning up to the water from the stop is full of shells in the sand! They were painful other than that it was great the peer is a little unsafe for children because of no Rails. The water also splashes up and gets you right in the splash zone. The wind is very cold next to the seats by the peer.Written January 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- katewoman612Sarasota, FL126 contributionsWe saw Sunset Boulevard and the show was amazing for a community theater.
We actually saw the Show many years ago on Broadway in NYC and we thought the production values and stage set was much better than what was done on Broadway.
The actors all did an excellent job.Written May 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
