Please read what makes our visitors happy during their visit to Herrington Manor. The interpretive nature walks are VERY informative and professional. The naturalists really added to our experience at the park! The park is kept so tidy and well-groomed! The rangers and park naturalists were so helpful and informative. They took a lot of time to explain things and the programs turned our vacation into a real educational experience for the entire family. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back! |
