    This will be one of very few reviews here about the ACTUAL NATURE CENTER, with photos thereof! 😂 🙄 * 🖼️ Habitat Hall exhibits mostly aimed at children, but still of interest to adults. * 🐢 A couple aquariums with turtles * 🐝 Bee colony inside transparent glass (in warm weather at least) * 🐦 🦋 Bird and butterfly viewing windows * 🚻 💦 Restrooms, with drinking and water bottle fountains * 🎭 Auditorium (available to rent) * 👩‍🏫 Two classrooms (available to rent) * 📚 Nature book library room (available to rent) * 🛋️ Lounging area * 📲 Wifi network available for visitors * Roofed standing pavilion in front of building, possibly providing a bit of shelter even when closed

    Holliday Park has beautiful grounds, the Rock Garden is amazing (has stairs to take..no stroller unless small), the Ruins was nice to cool your feet off in after a good 3 hour hike. A+++ area for family.

    This park is a hidden gem tucked away in its own little corner of heaven. The ruins are magnificent. They do not cover a huge area but you find yourself lingering, daydreaming amidst the beautiful flowers. The sound of flowing water & birds chirping fills you with a sense of peace. The Nature Center was a delight for children & adults. They have a 2nd floor with a elevator to be used by handicapable individuals which I thought was absolutely wonderful. The playground area is amazing. 3 different playground areas for different age groups. We took our 2 year old & he thoroughly enjoyed playing on the "big kids" equipment. On the way back to our car we chose to walk thorough the grass & although we saw people walking dogs, never once thought to look down for poo...we were too busy admiring the trees, saying Hi to passerby's, & enjoying our time together. We did not visit the trail portion BUT will be returning to walk them. Literally cannot say enough good things about this park.

    Another great outdoor adventure. The play area had fresh mulch and was well taken care of.

    What a great park for kids. We brought out 2 year old here and he had a blast at the nature center, playground and hikes. The playground was nice and big too.
