Outside, visitors can make a similar exploration through forest and marsh along a handicap-accessible boardwalk with has been built to lead you through each habitat with educational signage to keep you informed along the way.

Its a well maintained and peaceful oasis in the middle of Bethany. It's small but you have a playground, a garden, wooden walkways on the marshes, some shaded areas to relax protected from the sun. It's quite beautiful.
There is no public bathroom outside (the building was closed when I visited). There's free parking and some trash cans if you plan on having a picnic. It's free

We had such a wonderful experience at Nick’s Mini Golf at Dino Land in Bethany Beach! Elizabeth was incredibly helpful, kind, and enthusiastic about serving us, and her warm energy really made our visit special. The entire staff was friendly and attentive, even bringing us water to help us stay cool. Our resident had a fantastic time playing, and everyone who relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful view left with big smiles. Highly recommend for fun, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere!
