“Great combo! Love the Wildlife tour. Guide was very knowledgeable with tons of stories and he was very accommodating to the crowd on what they wanted to see and how long they were able to be out on the tour. There were some complaints about the AC and wanting water. Perhaps a note that this is a 5 hour for people come prepare with water and snacks. The Planetarium was informative, entertaining and interactive. The Star and planet gazing was lovely. Come prepare to be out doors, it can become pretty chilly, There are tons mosquitoes out! Luckily We were offered some bug spray. Overall, awesome combo! Just come prepare…”
