This place is a real treat! Wrestle with gators, hold snakes, dance with cockatoo's! The emu may kiss you, or bite you! You can feed the fish, too! This is a wonderful stop of about an hour, before or after visiting the Sand Dunes. A perfect example of what makes this valley so special....and weird.

Drive slow, you won't be sorry!
Slow down to at least the speed limit, for the sake of the deer, wandering dogs. Slowing down will allow you to take in the wonder of the Sangre De Cristo mountains and surrounding views! Crestoners will wave at you as they pass, so wave back if you want to!
