The trail through the North Forest is filled with fascinating sculptures, and the path is easy to walk. Most of the trails surrounding the museum are stroller friendly. Finally, be sure to check out the walkway around the west side of the upper pond by the museum; it will lead you a stone cave that’s filled with Arkansas quartz crystal! […]
