Four stars if you're under the age of seven and have a serious turtle fascination. Hissing…read morecockroaches aside, all of the living exhibits are those shelled wonders and rabbit race underdogs. Still, the environments created around said turtles are whimsical, educational and awe-inspiring for the little 'uns. An extra star for free admission to YMCA members, and for the enjoyable outdoor space, which includes a chicken hutch, active gardens, stone circles for pagan worship (I kid, or do I?) and about a billion chipmunks. Seriously, it's like Alvin attained Beiber status and all the teen chips are swarming for an autograph. Excellent programming and festivals throughout the year - even a Corn Fest! - and, as mentioned, completely free for YMCA members. Solid way to knock out an hour or two if your spawn is being a terror. Or obsesses over turtles. Or both.

A weekend go to in our household - is it raining? Great, come here in look at turtles!

They have a cute story book trail for little ones and other ways to enjoy some easy jaunts through the woods. Free admission to YMCA members, we also love their annual events like Corn Fest every summer.

Had an awesome time! The sets were incredibly well done and very creepy. The actors did a fantastic…read morejob - creepy characters and plenty of startled, scream-worthy moments. The wait was long, but I expect this for a good haunted house and for being so close to Halloween. It was nice that we didn't have to wait in a line but could walk around/ grab snacks etc. Also enjoyed that this is a non-profit and proceeds go directly to the town

This is probably one of the best haunted houses I've been too. Right when you get there you go to…read morethe ticket booth and pay for your ticket then pursue to the line.(ticket is $15, no refund) In line there are actors who have fake chainsaws and fake knifes who talk to you and make jokes about what's ahead and if you ask they will let you take a picture with them. Then the hayrides to the haunted house start at 7:00 or 6:30 ish so I would recommend getting there at like 6:00 or 5:50. Once it starts getting ready to start the line to go to the haunted houses they will tell you the rules; no touching the actors etc. Then you go on the hayride which only takes like two or three minutes. Then once your off you'll walk to the entrance of the haunted house where two people are standing and they remind you of the rules and if you have a group of eight or more to separate to groups of three or two. Then they ask for your ticket then you go right into the haunted house where your separated from the other people for about a three minutes difference. The haunted house was not to cheap about there scares every second there was a person here or there. But I don't really recommend the haunted house for children under 11 or 12. But there is hot cocoa if you wanna give the little ones a treat. Best experience ever can't wait for next year!

A fun day in Plymouth (the spelling with the i is the original historic spelling!) They have a…read morejoint ticket option to visit the living history museum, the Mayflower 2, and the Grist Mill (the latter is only $2 more and worth it). The best part is the Living History Museum where you can wander in and out of houses constructed for the time period. They also have goats and sheep!!! Sooo cute. We came in November where it was Thanksgiving preparation in the village. Felt like going back in time. The Mayflower 2 is a reconstruction of the ship and cool to walk through. Great bang for your buck if you like learning or history or just sight-seeing.

There are cross dressing Pilgrims walking around. My daughter was confused when she saw a female…read morepilgrim and said "that's a man!". I'm pretty sure the pilgrims wouldn't have been ok with gender fluidity. Also, we found several of the cast members to be rude and condescending when answering our questions. We've been studying the pilgrims in our lessons and my 8 year old daughter actually knows a lot about them. When we playfully sparked conversation using some of our knowledge and asking questions several of them said we were flat out wrong with our information and quite rude. I guess their version of history is somewhat different than the truth. A very "woke" version. We won't be back. We spent a lot of money to be treated like cattle and expose my children to leftist ideological BS.

To press onward to…read morehigher attainments Back in 1872 the wealthy Elizabeth Taber decided to "put some snap" into her home town of Marion and donated portions of her fortune to help educated and improve the community. One of the things she specified was a natural history museum. So back in 1872 land was purchased and a building erected to house a library on the first floor and a natural history museum upstairs. This is still the arraignment today and a small but cool library and small but very active museum share the building. This museum isn't like a lot of larger museums that just empathizes looking, this is a museum for doing and learning. The one room museum is pretty messy and displays and exhibits come and go depending on what programs are going on. Sure there is cool stuff to look at but unlike most museums the real purpose on the museum is hands on; not just looking but actually doing. The museum has a huge number of evening adult programs, field trips, after school events and a very active summer program. Lectures and demonstrations in zoology, botany, geology, astronomy and just about every other natural science are represented at one time or another. The is natural history in it's broadest and most entertaining and edifying definition. The museum's purpose is to educate and encourage the public interest in natural history and the world around us, especially the local coastal environment around the town of Marion. Liz Tabor said she want people to press onward to higher attainments. The museum has been helping people do this extremely well for over a century.
