Irida’s Giraffe Museum is free to tour and is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The museum is a house that was turned into a museum by a local resident. There are over 1,300 Giraffe figurines from all around the world.

Gated communities seem to encourage outside activity. Perhaps it’s because residents feel safer walking their dog, riding a bicycle, or enjoying an evening stroll where traffic is restricted. Or, it could be due to friendships that develop as residents enjoy the community pool and other recreational pursuits.
