Story

We spent a couple hours looking around the museum and gardens. We got separated and I spent most of the time with Cooper. Cooper loved the Eocene walk-thru diorama because they had cards with different plants and animals that you could look for in the diorama. Cooper wouldn't let us leave until we found every single plant and animal.
