Visitor tip
Bring bug spray and check for ticks after trail exploration. Wet conditions can cause flooding on some trail sections after rain, but this doesn't deter families—just plan accordingly with appropriate footwear.
Visitor tip
Visit the museum during peak season (July-August) to catch the Wildflower Concert Series in the natural amphitheater. The peaceful pond and woodland setting creates a unique outdoor concert experience worth planning around.
Visitor tip
Don't miss the loop trail around the lake and the trail leading to the body of water behind the amphitheater (about half mile in). These spots offer the best scenic views with wildflowers and peaceful water features—locals consider them hidden gems.
