Species Spooktacular!
Families, Wheelchair Accessible
It’s the time of year when the haunts come out to play at the Center. You can come in costume to learn about some of nature’s spooky and misunderstood animals! We’ll bust myths about them and share their true ecological importance. Meet live animal ambassadors in our Visitor Center, including snakes, tarantulas, turtles, and raptor ambassadors! Also vote for your favorite of our costumed taxidermy animals. Hike our trails, stopping at the pavilion, tower, maple grove, and other locations to play games and make crafts. After visiting all of the stations, children will receive a sweet treat!
