There are museums galore including a museum of the forest, art galleries and outdoor sculpture trails, mazes and miniature golf. There are an array of family oriented attractions where you can all have fun, relax or enjoy some animal magic too from a miniature train ride and outdoor playgrounds to boat cruises and high wires.
