Fantastic! Absolutely worth a visit. So many fun exhibits and so much to do for kids. They have an indoor and outdoor playground and even a zipline! The animals are great too. We happened to visit during a caterpillar exhibit and it was fantastic. This place is truly a hidden gem. We were just sad that the owls were off display at the time. Looking forward to returning for another visit. My kids loved it!
Great little walk and the ability to see some pretty cool wildlife. Great playground and very courteous and informative staff. Entire park can take 1.5 hours if you’re rushing through, but it’s worth your time to take it slow. Very manageable with little kids or teenagers. Definitely worth a visit.
Super awesome place. Wild life is happy and healthy. Interactive exhibits making learning so much fun. The folks who work and volunteer are kind, caring and happy to be there. We got a membership and now we have access to a couple days at other science centers at discount and even free days for our family of 4.
Lovely place even for a drizzly day. Several exhibits were closed (near, otter, a few of the raptor enclosures) which was kind of a bummer but it was nice. The grounds are gorgeous and everything is clean and well marked. A great place for kids to learn about the natural world - a lot of hands on activities.
