Was great, my son and I really enjoyed it. They have animal exhibits, play areas for kids, up close and personal experiences with different animals where they bring them into a room and talk about them and just a lot of cool things to learn along your walk down the trail!

We absolutely love coming here when we visit family on the lake! Such a beautiful walk and so much local wildlife to see! We all had a blast!

This place is amazing! Better than any other science nature centers we've been to outside of a museum or zoo. Easy to find your way around, includes some hiking trails, and even have a play area for the kids. Absolutely must go!

Great place, love all the exhibits and the animals, the staff is great as well. Always a fun time. Going on a weekday closer to late afternoon helps avoid most of the chaos of field trips.
