I
wanted
to
like
this
place.
The
grounds
are
VERY
beautiful.
Maybe
we
came
on
an
"off"
day.
It
was
our
first
time,
and
we
brought
our
friends
and
their
kids.
We
bought
our
tickets,
said
we
were
doing
"self
guided"
but
weren't
given
a
book/guide
or
mp3
or
anything
that
other
reviewers
mentioned
(just
a
paper
map).
Like
others
have
said,
many
buildings
were
closed.
There
was
little
to
see
or
read
or
learn
(the
way
we
were
set
up),
so
we
mostly
wandered
around.
We
did
go
into
the
old
church/hall
because
the
door
was
unlocked,
and
found
an
art
activity
inside.
The
kiddos
got
into
it,
and
then
a
staff
person
came
in
and
told
us
that
activity
was
only
for
people
on
the
Anne/Maud
tour,
we
weren't
supposed
to
touch.
But
there
was
no
signage,
no
indication
whatsoever
that
the
activity
was
off
limits.
The
person
who
sold
our
tickets
did
not
say
anything
like
"Sometimes
you
will
see
activities
but
they're
for
people
paying
extra
so
just
leave
them
alone".
We
later
saw
other
activities
that
must
also
have
been
for
just
that
tour
(again,
no
indication
to
let
us
know
not
to
touch...
but
we
knew
better
by
that
point).
So
basically
we
wandered
around
aimlessly,
learned
almost
zero,
got
called
out
for
touching
an
activity
that
was
not
labelled
in
any
way,
and
then
left.
I
wanted
to
like
this
place
and
support
it,
but
I'll
be
honest,
it
was
a
pretty
big
letdown.
Until
they
get
better
organized
(maybe
they're
having
trouble
finding
seasonal
staff,
maybe
budget
issues,
who
knows),
I
won't
likely
come
back
or
recommend
it...
Hoping
things
improve
over
time.
