This is a massive bookstore that is a tad overwhelming. Definitely a touristy spot, so a lot of people wandering and just looking. Lots of neat souvenir type items. Most of the staff I encountered was friendly and helpful, a few you could tell were just over it. This place is NOT on the quiet side like most bookstores, but I mean...books.

Great area with lots of trails. The changing leaves are especially pretty right now. Small visitor center by one of the parking lots, has two bathrooms. There are paid lots or you can park on the side of the road.

Took my son on a Saturday with some friends (had kids aged 2 and 4, my 12 year old, and a handful of adults). $25/person for 90 minutes. Had to buy socks! $4 each (they have grippies). SO MANY BOUNCY THINGS. Lots of fun obstacle courses to keep you busy and totally wear you out. Little cubbies at the front for shoes/bags and they sold drinks. There's an obstacle course up top where they put you in a harness and clip you in, but the wait was pretty long so we sadly missed out on that (next time we'll just do it first). The ball pits could use some improvement, the kinda sorta hard plastic balls end up everywhere.

Excellent place to visit! Wind turbines are ridiculously fascinating and HUGE. Pretty and informative visitor center, even had activities for kids.
