it was a very fun trail but it would be a 10/10 in my heart if you guys would be nice and add a zip lid.

This is the best place to take your kids and family. Such a great little museum and fun programs. The staff is so wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable here. I honestly miss this place so much since moving out of NJ.
