This place is full of history, and I encourage you to learn about it while there. They also have a petting zoo, poneys, donkeys, peacocks and in the spring this place is amazing with the azyleas blooming! looks like a painting from Monet! Look also for the butterfly garden and the little houses for kids to play.
