  • I brought a small preschool group here. We went this morning and did a guided tour with one of their docents, Elenor. It was an overall great experience for the kids and parents. First off, I got completely lost following my GPS directions and ended up on the other side of the mountain where they have a locked gate that must be a back entrance. I called the facility to let them know I would be late. Right then my phone died (it was plugged in so I don't know why) and I had to just sit for about 10 minutes and wait for it to turn back on because I had no idea where to begin to get to the right spot. Anyway, I ended up arriving 30 minutes late which is completely embarrassing and extremely late. However, the guide was waiting out front and she was very kind and didn't make me feel horrible for wasting 30 minutes of her time which I really appreciated. The guide took us to a little classroom where she made petroglyphs very kid-relatable. She really did a lot of scaffolding to help prepare them to be excited and interested when they went outside to find the real ones. They got to do a hands-on activity and make their own petroglyphs on clay stones. She walked them around the small museum and explained everything really well. Then we headed outside and checked out the real deal. She was pretty strict about rules with the kids. For example, my daughter was hopping on the rocks that mark the path on the side and she had her get off of them. The kids were really responsive to her directions and expectations so it worked out fine. If you have kids that need a lot of free exploration and room to run that might make the tour tricky and not the best fit and I would do a self-guided walk through. However, the kids still got to do lots of exploring just very directed. I liked that we were able to bring in snacks and eat while we walked along the path. That helped a lot for the kids and helped them keep going. I also liked they had spots to stop and sit on benches to break the walk up for their little bodies. There was enough stopping, learning about, and exploring throughout the walk that kept the kids engaged and enjoying it. The tour was the perfect amount of time for their attention spans. I will say we were studying this in our preschool class before we came so the kids had interest in the subject matter prior to going and were invested in finding real petroglyphs. Just going without teaching them about it might not spark their interest as much. I saw some reviews that said it was boring or what not. I think like anything, you don't just show up and expect mother nature to entertain you. If you have taken time to learn about it and it is something you want to go find and see then it is very interesting. If you haven't prepped at all and outdoor stuff is not your thing you probably won't be satisfied with the experience.
