- Marcella H2 contributionsIt was so exciting to see the beauty of all the sights you can see. You need to explore this place we plan to go back.

- CJLLaredo, TX5 contributionsVery clean, staff was all nice & helpful. Animal enclosures are designed in such a way that you get very close to all of the wildlife, & yet animals still seem to have sufficient space. I’ve never been so close to so many wild animals. All of the additional experiences are priced really affordably. There’s a small playground at the top of the lift that my kids enjoyed. Food at the grizzly was really good- we had bison burgers and kids had hot dogs. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages & a play area right outside. There did seem to be a lot of construction going on & a few exhibits closed, but didn’t take away from our good experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend.Written 11 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- paws0810Mesa, AZ2,520 contributionsWe’ve been here a few times in the last couple years I believe five years ago we were in the church and it was beautiful. I cannot believe it is under construction still. The grounds nice and there’s lots of fun things to see inside.Written 12 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- teejIowa City, IA7 contributionsGreat place to go for a hike that is less crowded than Garden of the Gods park. Dog friendly and plenty of trail options for different levels of difficulty.Written 28 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jshj72Mesa, AZ39 contributionsWent during the week at 2pm
Many of the athletes were out of town at events or on a break but our guide made sure we could see and learn as much as possible .it was interesting to see the training facilities . He shared many interesting facts and stories .
There is inside and outside walking from building to building . We were able to see the boxers training and the Paralympic women’s basketball teams practicing . Swimmers were just arriving for afternoon practice as our tour was ending . No right or wrong time to go as team schedules change . We were pleased with our tour . If you are interested in the Olympics or it’s history - highly recommend .Written 5 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Take your time it's worth it. Falls weren't impressive per se but the climb was very good exercise. More rain on the mountain might have made the falls more impressive. Fun hike nonetheless.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Linda MLyndhurst, NJ55 contributionsThis park has some pretty steep and rugged trails, as well as gorgeous scenery. But parking is very limited, especially at popular trailheads, so get there early if you go.Written 24 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- teejIowa City, IA7 contributionsVery charming shops along the street that have something for everyone.

- Stephanie AColorado Springs, CO3 contributionsMy husband and I got married in the historic courthouse in 2016. We go back often to visit. What a beautiful campus and the exhibits are amazing. We also like the lecture series free to the public. Make a stop here, you wont be sorry.Written 19 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Randy BTucson, AZ51 contributionsThis was very nice, although I recommend going in the evening when they light up the falls. It’s much prettier then. But still beautiful anytime.Written 25 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
