The International Waterlily Collection has been designated by the International Waterlily & Water Gardening Society as the premiere collection of waterlilies in existence.

This was by far the most fun we had, lots of trains setup in the upstairs of the building and downstairs has all the train memorabilia. The guide who showed us around was awesome and when a train came into the station he ran like a kid to take my 9 year old to see it up close and personal!
