Great rolling hillside for a picnic and lazy afternoon. Visiting the star after dark is very romantic.

We spent 2 hours with a guide on the wildflower walk area just beyond the Discovery Center. The Discovery Center is well done and designed to capture the imagination of children of all ages!Special programs are also offered for kids and families. After the wild flowers, we explored the Park and went to both overlooks and visited the star. It... More

Growing up near Roanoke has given me the opportunity to see the star in many different colors. At one time I lived not too far from this beautiful attraction and could see if from my back porch. Awesome views of the Roanoke Valley from the star.

Inexpensive way to spend a day walking, seeing some cute animals, and a great view! Liked it very much.
