This is one of our favorite places to take the kids downtown. It's a really cool toy store with lots of "tester" toys. It's also right down the street from the ice cream place we love!

Definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive! Bee City has MUCH more than bees - you can pet and feed lemurs, monkeys, llamas, deer, rabbits, and more! Aviary and reptile house, too.
