I would say yes especially if they have never been there before. There are some animals you can see and a neat little short movie. Twelve year olds are getting a little old for this but if they haven't been I would say go. They have amazing camps thru summer. My daughter has gone numerous times to the Harry Potter camp. They go all out. The kids have sos much fun.
Q:
Is there parking to accommodate a 30ft RV
A:
Yes, they have lots of parking but you may have to park nearer to the far edges of the area.
Q:
What is the admission cost for a visit on Monday?
A:
Admission is listed on their website. If you do not have small children, I would suggest missing it if there is something else you want to see.
