So much fun!! Seriously, worth the price! If you have little ones it might even be worth purchasing the weekly pass so you can go several times. A lot of fun even without kids! (We usually buy a season pass) Perfect activity if the ocean is rough one day.

Parks & Nature Trails
Take water and wear shoes! Go early to get a parking spot for catching the sunset. Can be a longer hike than you may think, so in the Summer, evenings are best when the sand and air temps have cooled. Great way to wear out the kiddos!
