We had little time but stopped at this park on our way out of town to see the Sundial Bridge. This park is awesome! There is free parking, a museum (no time to enjoy that), the bridge, which is spectacular, arboretum, paths along the river, you name it. While crossing the bridge we looked down into the river to see... more
Can't understand why anyone would find this overpriced ... acres of exhibits, gardens, and beautiful facilities. more
We took our 5 and 8 year old to the Turtle Bay Exploration Park and had a ball! The exhibits were awesome. The guides were great. You had the chance to see the natural habitat of the surrounding area and also get a bit of history with an exhibit of old town Redding. We also saw the T-Rex Named Sue... more
Went to Turtle Bay Exploration Park to see the Sue exhibit while we were in Northern California. Wait, if you want to see Sue, add an extra $5.00 per person. If you want go into the bird exhibit, add another $1.00 per person. It wasn't really worth the original $13.99/$9.99 per adult/child. Paul Bunyan Camp By shear luck, we got... more
Turtle Bay Exploration Park consists of the Turtle Bay Museum, Paul Bunyan’s Forest Camp, McConnell Arboretum & Botanical Gardens and the Sundial Bridge. We were a little disappointed with our visit to the Park. We feel the admission ($13 for an adult) is a little high for what you get (see below). $8 or $9 would be a little more... more
We took our 11-year old daughter and we all had a great time. It just so happened that "Bodies Revealed" was there and we missed it when it was in our town, so we got to finally see a scaled down version of the exhibit. They said they didn't have room for the full blown exhibit. We walked across the... more
For $12, I expect more. The museum is interesting but quite small. Apart from the special exhibit (now the Titanic collection) which costs an extra $8, one can see the whole museum in 15 or 20 minutes. The botanical garden is nice but isn't much more than a 20 minute stroll through whatever will survive in Redding's summer heat. The... more
This was definitely a superb attraction that had wonderful exhibits. The whole place was clean, well manicured, and very interesting. There were a variety of exhibits for every taste and even a large outdoor exploration and play area for the kids. When I was there in June 05, there was a grade A exhibit of live frogs from around the... more
