"I was here too early in the year on a weekday for many of the amenities to be open but had a lovely time wandering the island and enjoying the lake. I even got to see Canadian geese in their natural habitat!\n\nThe island is HUGE so renting bikes or jitneys (or y'know bringing your own) is a great idea. The amusement park looked fun but it was closed. Most of the food sellers were closed or looked...very child oriented. When I did try to buy a bottle of water from a vending machine, it wouldn't take my coins. So I suggest bringing your own picnic with you. \n\nI loved watching the spaces getting spruced up for the summer season and really loved wandering in Franklin Children's garden. And loved watching the little kids reaction to a wide open green space...Time to start running!!!"^^ . . .
