We decided to come visit the Nature Center. It was actually closed when we arrived because a few months out of the year it opens 12pm. I suggest calling the day before to check the hours before coming. We tried to walk the trail while waiting and it was closed due to flooding in the clinton river. We saw that the beginning of the trail had a massive puddle and the grass was flooded too. We would love to come back to check that out. We went inside at 12pm. One staff member was very nice and opened the door. We saw some turtles on the pathway. We went inside and saw a giant tank. There was fish, turtles, snakes, and more. There was a little play area as well with a race track, books, bones, and toys. My kids had a lot of fun running around and looking at the different tanks. They had a cute little seed station too which I thought was awesome. They had some interactive areas, one where it tells you to count the rings of wood and another to guess the wood type and smell of the item. I think this is perfect for young toddlers. I do believe older kids would love it as well. We will definitely be back with the kids and check out the trail.

The Nature Center is a great way to spend an afternoon for animal lovers. They have lots of animals to look at and lovely trails to walk. My son had his birthday there and it was great!

This place is wonderful for kids. We celebrated a birthday party here, and the experience was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they never rushed any of the activities. Even when the presentation went beyond the scheduled time, the naturalist patiently continued, explaining the animals in detail and thoughtfully answering all of the children’s questions. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Thank you for such excellent service and a memorable experience.
