The Nature Center is open Wednesdays and Fridays from 1pm – 4pm & Thursdays from 10am-1pm (closed week of 5/14).

The Nature Center is a wonderland of exhibits and discoveries for adults and kids! Take a close-up look at woodland creatures, fossils and rocks, Kentucky fish, a wetland display, a Native American setting, and hawks and owls (stuffed).

In summer months, take a close look at our observation bee hive to see bees hard at work collecting pollen and helping plants get pollinated.

Additional learning areas include animal tracks, an herbarium, wood identification and the bird nest collection. There’s even a “bird blind” where you can view the birds, but the birds can’t see you through a one-way viewing window overlooking the wildlife observation area.

Complimentary crafts are provided, along with trail maps.

It is a rich resource for students, teachers, and parents who want to learn about Kentucky’s biological diversity and natural environment.

Younger children will love playing in new Magical Forest Imagination Station. It is just their size and all the animals are guaranteed to be child-friendly.

Maximum Occupancy: Theater style 150 people or classroom style 75 people (divided into three rooms)
