WILDLIFE SAFARI

The Forest's inhabitants are not always cooperative at posing for photos, so we planted adorable stuffed versions of some of the Goethe's most famous residents along the trail. Keep your eyes peeled for them and photograph each one that you see. Show us your pictures and win a prize if you get them all!

Yours to enjoy with your Registration!

For sale $20!
