What visitors say
Wonderful place to visit. The Christmas tree display was fun and free to view.
Not many exhibits or a ton of historical information...maybe I missed something. I went on a camp day so the atmosphere seemed to be catered for k-5 education/activities. Plenty of room for more elaborate exhibits and show rooms. I'll…
Its free and both times I have went thwy had different events. First time they had alot of Christmas trees with a scavenger hunt. The second time was the Impressionism display. Both events were enjoyable to see!!
