This iconic attraction of the city is really great and has FREE admission which was a great plus. The place has so much to offer for everyone that you won’t get bored for a second. The place is huge and offers so much to see. It is a great display of collectables which is truly educational.

Our visit to this place was amazing. It is so beautiful here and scenery and the views are just WOW.. we were in awe with the sheer beauty of this place. The scenic views are just gorgeous here and don’t forget to check out the sunsets which are just stunning and so pretty.. This was our 5th time visiting this camp and the scenery and the service including the facilities are just awesome. You have to look out for the best time to visit the camp because winters could be too cold and for some not a feasible option. Even though you can enjoy the winterland, you have to be fully equipped with everything.

This is a perfect hike with great trails and beautiful sceneries. Every view along the way is beautiful and if you don’t soak in the beauty, you will miss it. There is a gorgeous waterfall along the trail where the pathways are paved perfectly for the trail. The hiking experience was outstanding and we really liked and enjoyed our time.

This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.
