Parks and OutdoorsExpert Tips & Helpful Hints

Check out this wildlife and environmental experience, that uses both modern technology and the great outdoors to explore and learn more about nature. See animals on exhibit, from birds to frogs to mammals. The polar bears are a big favorite. Naturalists are there to enhance your "wildlife encounters."
Walking trails explore the grounds. Learn about the geology of the area, the native flora, and maybe even spot some of nature's beasts around the pond. The tree canopy walkway is a special treat. Here you can gain a different vantage of the woods around you.
Other attractions include a planetarium, a mini train, and scheduled events along with rotating exhibits. The place is a great family venue where you can learn something while having a good time.
