Guess what part of our BEACH vacation our family loved the most?? Nope, not the beach - Barn Hill Preserve!! The animal encounters were the highlight of our entire trip! The staff were enthusiastic, sweet, and very knowledgeable about each animal. The location was clean and orderly. The animals were AWESOME!! We're definitely going to visit again!
