Such a wonderful place to visit. I've been there several times with school groups and the kids always love it. Also, has a great gift shop that everyone needs to visit.

Fun place to visit. Excellent information about rivers, estuaries and climate change. Be sure to view the large sculpture in the lobby and to hear the story.
