This was awsome. My family & I went with all the kids, all the adults had a great walk in the fresh air & the kids got to run around in the newly re-done kids zone. The play area there is not a good place for the little guys to play but the picnic area has picnic tables & lots of grass space. If your into it they even have a small amusement park area with rides along with a train ride around the park which I would only suggest for young ages. It's quite a breath of fresh air & the kids will be exhausted from the walking.

"Great for older children"
This place is great for older children but not so much for the little ones. My nephew (age4) & niece (age 6) had a blast looking at everything and being able to touch things. My son (age2) on the other hand was board and didn't like being there. They had a lot to see and experance. We even found out that ever Friday & Saturday nigh till about 10:30 for free you can go look at the stars through there telescopes which my husband & I are planning on doing for a date night after dinner.
