The nature center was closed the Sunday we visited but the kids loved the pond which is full of turtles, tadpoles and frogs!

The kids room is very nice, colorful and tidy with several animals displayed in aquariums. Puppets, puzzles, toys and books make for a good time. There is a lot of bird action out the window as well.

Always exciting and educational. If you're an ornithologist, it's a great dawn or dusk walk. Great events, family oriented completely engaging. Don't forget the covered "Valient" bridge, the pond, and raptor areas.
