Right outside the zoo. Great playground for kiddos (or adults like me who still like to play on the swings every now & then). Picnic areas & shade trees too!

Arts & Culture

Great venue for concerts - usually of the rock or electronic genre - with 2 stages inside the building. The sound is usually pretty great & the drink prices aren't the worst as far as a venue goes.

Sightseeing

BEAUTIFUL gardens! They usually have some kid specific exhibits too! In the summer they have a great venue for their outdoor concert series & bring in some pretty big names.
