Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • ☀️June — long evenings and clear skies; one of the most rewarding months for a late visit
  • 🐄Summer visits here combine well with a walk along nearby trails — the animals are most active in the morning.
  • Café on site — makes this an easy full-day family visit without needing to pack food
