A:
Since it is primarily an outdoor venue, a park, it is doubtful that there are any guided tours of the facility. Now, if you want to dine, there is a fine restaurant on the premises, of the upscale variety. Also, starting in, I believe May, an outdoor facility called "Sunwatch," opens every year until late September, or early October, whenever it gets too cold to be outdoors for an extended period. You have to see this on a personal visit to experience all it offers. Check it out for yourself, as, it costs nothing. Don't take my word for it.
Q:
Can you take pictures?
A:
We took lots of pictures so I believe you can.
Q:
Is this park geared for young children
A:
It is geared for all ages; however, there are plenty of specialty exihibts for young children, depending on the age. It is roughly 15 minutes from the Air Force Museum.
Q:
Does it cost to get in
A:
Does it cost to drive through and look at Christmas lights
