This is a great little spot for families with kids or people just wanting to see some of the local wildlife on display and learn a little about the animals- mammals, reptiles/amphibians, birds & bugs. The nature center is small - just one large room with displays all over the place, there's plenty to look at and interactive displays, too.... more
