LeRoy and I are winter Texans from Minnesota, we always buy a season pass because we love visiting several times over the winter. We are always pleased and from one visit to the next we never know what we will see. We find the staff very friendly and the boardwalk easy to maneuver. We encourage others to visit the center. Every visit I walk away taking at least 200 photos.
