"Great place to bring young children. The playground is terrific with a variety of climbing opportunities as well as a small collection of animals (donkey, cow, chicken, rabbits). The walk around the grounds is flat and easy for children to navigate. Flowers and turtles in addition to a variety of plants. Holiday lights are well done. Great scale for children."
