- Gardens: Landscaped gardens lie between the hills and offer a quieter pace between cave visits and walks.
Why the name
The park takes its name from the arrangement of its hills, which is said to resemble the Big Dipper constellation. This link to the night sky is a pleasant thread to follow as you walk among the peaks.
