Pros

The gardens are beautiful spring-fall.

Cons

The leadership is inept. They have driven the Museum to the ground and taken away the joy that used to be throughout the place. Prior to 2011, it was a fun place to be with family events, kids activities, and a team of individuals who enjoyed being on site. Visitors were excited about new exhibitions and would repeatedly return. Now, the place is closed for months at a time, there appears to be no interest in catering to anyone outside of the wealthy, and the staff are overwhelmed. Leadership systematically removed any long term employees either through forced retirement or false pretense. They have made a place with 39 buildings on 45 acres, including a carousel, train, and steamboat, BORING.
