I enjoyed learning the history of Da Vinci and seeing the recreated props. I especially enjoyed seeing field trip where young students gained knowledge of such a historical figure

Beautiful castle and the gardens were a welcome reprieve from the warm weather. Well planned for self guided tour which was our choice. The large interactive display area was super cool, both for aesthetics and for the AC. Lovely day all around!
