Discover Turtle Pond — home to five species of turtles who live there year-round. Learn why they love basking in the sun on flat logs or rocks, which makes the base of Vista Rock the perfect spot for their sunbathing activities.

Explore the Pond’s history and design, and learn what it takes to maintain a healthy and beautiful waterbody through hands-on exploration and guided activities.
