[ Google Review ] It was a great place, really enjoyed the environment and atmosphere. The only downside is that the food is a bit pricey and the museum proctors were not very knowledgeable. It was a good place for a date, but I also think it's good for any and every occasion. They also do fun events during the holidays and if you sign up to their email list you might find something you would enjoy.

[ Google Review ] Went to Phipps Conservatory for the orchid and bonsai exhibit and found the entire experience fascinating. Great staff. Be sure to order your tickets online to reserve your time slot during the pandemic. There I a lot to see, even during the winter months and there are many diverse rooms with a different theme and a great selection of flowers and plants. A great learning experience. The highlight for me was the Bonsai exhibit as many of the trees were over 30 years old. Such an intriguing art form! Can't wait to see the next featured exhibits they will showcase.

[ Google Review ] Really exceeded my expectations. Went on New Years Eve in really really cold weather... Found it was like a winter wonder land except you don't get wet. The sand was super soft and powdery and a lot of fun to sled on. There is lots of room to explore without feeling crowded. The roads are suitable for an RV and there is generally ample parking. You really have to hike a way to get to clean dunes with no foot prints. Sleds are available for free when the park opens (people drop them off the previous day). Really unique and fun day activity. If you enjoy photography, evening golden hours have the sun setting behind the western mountain range so go out where there aren't any prints and wait. You will likely find other photographers on the horizon doing the same thing as you. Lastly, even on crowded days it doesn't feel crowded, you get lots of space. Have fun.
