This park seems like a perfect way to spend a couple hours. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There is a trolley from the Visitor's Center to the museum every 45 minutes or so. The canal boat ride is at 11 and 12, leaving the Visitor's Center on the trolley. There is a trolley tour at 2:30. Lots of walking opportunities as well. Check out their website! It was a fun and educational day for us.
