Shanimarie

A great place to escape that is within a short driving distance. I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and calm of the marina. It is a great place to sit, listen, and talk with friends while the water dashes up against the docks. We got their early morning around 10, so there was ample parking. There is a built-in park with swings, seating, and water views to enjoy. If you’re a history buff, there are signs that tell about the history of the marina for your education. I learned a few new things myself. To enjoy the marina, go early and have a picnic at the park and / or enjoy the views, then go for brunch.

A nice place to come unwind and enjoy nature in the suburbs. There are 4 different access to points to enjoy the beautiful waterview. The cherry blossom trees, native plants, and animals add to the beauty of this park. The best time to enjoy the park's peace and beauty is on a weekday during the afternoon. Signs throughout the park give education about the history of the park.

A great interactive art museum to have fun and take lots of great 3D pictures. It's best to go with friends and not solo so you can get the best pictures. When I first walked in, I was very confused because I expected something completely different or more virtual reality. I had to ask other people in the museum how it worked. There are directions, signs and cameras on how to experience the museum but for a first-timer it takes a couple tries to get a great shot. The painted artwork is very realistic and almost life like. I especially enjoyed the Statue of Liberty and the Ladder with Snakes. I'll definitely revisit this museum.
