This place is awesome!! There are tons of fun indoor and outdoor educational activities for kids! I love the variety of animals and activities! There’s high tech stuff: video/digital microscopes, wind tunnels, etc., and low tech options: building with magnets/wood, tangibles like turtle shells/rocks/fossils, coloring/etc. there’s a fossil digging sand pit outside and a mud kitchen. So much fun for kids and adults. Not gonna lie, I’m afraid of rats but the rats named Cookies and Cream were adorable. I also think there was a toad named Gladys or Velma or something? Adorable. You can tell they really love and care for their animals.

Pretty cool spot to stop by if your in the area, with or without kids. We ended doing a tour for a possible wedding venue and Mary was great! Super helpful but not overbearing like some wedding venue tour hosts can be. We ended up staying after the tour to look around and really enjoyed it. Grounds are very well kept and the trails are super clean & pretty.

Great experience, there are trails out back and animals to see indoors, also microscopes to play with indoors. Accessible paths in the back and short dirt paths but main path is paved fully wheelchair accessible. Nice gift shop as well. Only $5 for students and military.
