Is there a picnic area available

Crystal Phillips | Nov 5, 2018
Paul | Nov 5, 2019

There are a few places to eat at. There are some benches that are closer to the main building. These are wood rows on a platform setting. There is a amphitheater type place that could be used to eat if there is no show going on. It is blocks of rock in the shape of the theater with some dirt space between rows. Lastly, next to the dino trail is a pinic area that is more covered by trees but can be muddy and such as it is on dirt obviously. I haven't been on all the trails so I don't know if there are more areas farther out. I have two young kids so we aren't ready for the longer trails yet.

Total, 3.8 miles between 6 trails. However, that doesn't include walking from the main building. I'll post a photo of the brochure.
