We love going here with the kiddos to let them run around. Beautiful paved paths as well as natural paths; multiple styles of gardens, beautiful sculpture garden and mud pit (you can purposely take a path the stars clear of this if you prefer). We rarely walk all the paths each time we go; it's so big.
