Seconded. I took my parents there a few years ago, and they still talk about it. There’s a lot more to the place than just the Spruce Goose.

I also recommended it if you are into art museums. It has some nice Rodins.

East of the bridge to Maryhill is a full size [Stonehenge replica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryhill_Stonehenge). Bring something to sacrifice.
