Great staff nice place to spend a couple hour a on a hot day food is over priced but I'm pretty sure you can bring your own so that's on you smaller items are fairly priced water bottle, Popsicles ect. New attractions were fun family had a good time!

Truly an awesome experience. We went with your 3 kids (all under 5) and they all enjoyed it. We did the nature walk and the playground/splash pad and were there for just under 3 hours. Everything was well put together and clean and kid friendly. HIGHLY recommend and we will be back again. They have much more to do there and we barely scratched the surface! The only con is that it is a bit expensive. And if you want to use the splash pad you have to make sure to bring water shoes/socks as there is no re-entry and they are pretty strict about this. They do have them for purchase though!

Nice place for our grandchildren's ages (4-6). A lot of walking but doable with their little legs. They LOVED the splash pad. We were not crazy about the food so pack a lunch. There are plenty of benches and picnic areas. The bathrooms and changing areas were clean snd the staffveryfriendly. All and all, a fun day for all of us and we will most likely be back.

A nice fun place to take ur younger kids. We brought out 7yo and our 3yo and they had lots fun. Our oldest loved the walk around to see the dinosaurs, and they both loved the big playground area, and the big splash pad area. And it's not too big of a place to feel overwhelmed, you can easily get there when it opens, see everything, eat lunch, enjoy the splash pad, and leave before it closes. They allow you to bring outside food and drink, so feel free to take advantage of this since there is no reentry system, if u want to leave and come back. So make sure to pack all the snacks and drinks u need. But they do have a large concession stand next to the splash pad area with all the kids favorite's. (Burgers, hot dogs, dino nuggets grill cheese, fries, etc.) So if u are looking for a kid friendly day after spending time in Mystic or Foxwoods, this is a good choice.
