Giuseppe TaibiSeptember 5, 2010Coffee @ think cafè is very good. And so is the food (today we got chili, grilled cheese sandwich).
Jen MartinOctober 14, 2011Visit with the wood turtle. He is curious and will follow you along the glass.
Lynn AltomariAugust 15, 2014If your kids are over 5 I would pass. Also, not much of an aquarium which is why we visited here.
