A hidden treasure in Pt. Orange. Bring a sandwich and enjoy the stroll. Informative, too.

Pretty park, kids loved the dinosaurs, great for a nature walk. My 19 month old got a tick bite, first tick I have seen in my life, traumatic to remove for me! Oh, and my 3 year old fell in the little man made pond so we ended up having to leave because he was soaked. I think my bad... More

Brought my son today, nice drive in and a nice half hour spent. The garden was especially hot today but we found plenty of cooler spots to relax in.
