  I went as a chaperone for my son's kindergarten class trip. The kids loved it! They went on the carousel and train ride, played on the playground, climbed dinosaurs, went through tunnels, held butterflies, and generally ran amok looking at everything. It was a little exhausting chasing 4 rambunctious boys at once, but I'm looking forward to coming with my own family at a later date.

  Located next to the aquarium and included in PHS reciprocal membership (listed as a free garden if you are a member). Friendly employees at the butterfly house and gift shop/admission. Cute exhibits that encourage imagination and free play. Unfortunately, it was not well maintained and many areas were closed.

  A lovely, underestimated place to take your youngins that's affordable. It's minimalist only in the sense that there aren't bright, flashy lights and sounds jangling your kids' senses to entertain them - the point is to give their imagination peace and freedom to wander and entertain themselves. That's what enjoying nature is for. While they play, you can walk and read the placards of natural facts and history of the area. There's a butterfly house, splash area, carousel, train ride, garden, and fairy tale play place, plus fresh fruits and ice cream for a hot summer day.

  The train ride and carousel cost an additional $2 per person, but we're gentle fun for all. The kids loved the splash zone where they entertained themselves for over an hour. However, it was miniscule and offered the least of all such splash areas we have visited. The butterfly house was delightful. That's about all there was. My amateur garden outshone the greenery at the Children's Garden. Other areas were in neglect. My final impression was that new management and direction were greatly needed. Not worth the $10/person entry fee. Someone out there who has the authority, please help the untapped potential awaiting. The city of Camden certainly could use a little positive P.R. (Oh,BTW, on the weekday we visited there were two other families who visited. That's it.)
