Noccalula Falls Park

This weekend, we took a last-minute day trip to Gadsden, Alabama to visit Noccalula Falls Park. We were invited by another family, and we all had a great time. Noccolula Park is a city park a little over an hour from home that is kind of a hodge podge of a things that kids love: a big park, a climbing rock maze, a large and varied petting zoo (including a bunch of white-tailed deer), a lioness (not part of the petting zoo :), hiking trails, and, best of all, a train that you can ride as much as you want through the three train stations in the park. We rode that loop at least four times during the five hours we were there. I think the kids' favorite thing to do, other than riding the train, was picking the tall grass outside the animals' cages and feeding them through the fence. Noccalula Falls Park will definitely be a favorite spot for us from now on, and especially in the spring and the fall when it is not so hot outside.
