My family loves Turtle Bay! Although we don’t live nearby, we sometimes drive down I-5 to see relatives, and we always plan a couple of extra hours to stop at Turtle Bay. The grounds are really extensive. There is a great museum that has lots of fun, hands-on things for the kids, a vast garden area, great playground, a nice little café, some animals, and an amazing suspension bridge over the river that is a working sundial. It is truly an amazing place. The only downfalls I can think of are that it is a bit pricy (I think around $10 admission for adults) and that Redding is so stinkin’ hot in the summer. Turtle Bay is definitely a place that adults and kids will both enjoy.
