Critter Lane Petting Zoo
Zoo
😠 The animals are not treated very well & the bouncy house is a dangerous liability! The bouncy house is very old and filthy. After my child and another child fell out of it (the sides where there is not supposed to be an opening) I walked around it and noticed multiple tears in the security netting...

👍👍 Hadn’t been here since 2014 when I was getting open water certified in scuba, but had been meaning to. Finally got to go back and got to show my wife what I’ve been going on about all these years. Levi led our tour and we had a great experience.

Hickory Canyons Natural Area

👍👍 Don’t let the shortness of this trail fool you. It is both challenging and beautiful.
Across the street is another nice hike to witness the falls (a local says she like to go after a good rain to take in the beauty).
Post hike to St. Genevieve: quaint, great small business shops and restaurants.
