  • This place is amazing for all ages. So much to do. The trails through the forest are well groomed. The trail with speakers that are playing instrumental music is a really cool idea. The wild walk where you are up in the tree tops gives you a very beautiful view, especially in the fall during peak. I will definitely go back and have already suggested this destination to many friends.
  • Definitely a cool place to visit with some great things to see both indoors and out. They had some real nice trails leading down to the water where you’d swear you were the only people for 100 miles. My only disappointment was all the empty bird feeders along the trails so we saw very little wildlife. There were many feeding stations but they were all empty. The high catwalk thing was cool and has some nice viewing points. We saw a couple of squirrels and a few ducks but no other birds or wildlife which was disappointing.
  • We had the best time at The Wild Center! We were a groups of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids ages 1-6 and there was something to keep them all engaged. We explored everything we possibly could and spent hours there! Staff were all extremely friendly and offered to answer any questions when they passed by. We were excited to see the otters and enjoyed the outdoor play areas. The spider web could use some repairs, otherwise everything was great!
  • My friends took me here for part of my bachelor weekend, and it was awesome. I had ZERO expectations, but it was a blast and I'm glad we went. We had a lot of fun on the walk and at the wildlife center. Easy walk, but beautiful. Stickworks was absolutely mind boggling...so interesting. We spent an hour just admiring it. If you enjoy nature, it's a great spot to visit.
  • Such a great little nature hike filled with little surprises along the way. It’s well maintained and the staff is super friendly. The museum is small inside but the exhibits are educational and geared for younger kids. It’s a great half day trip - the whole place can be seen in 2 hours so a great option to fill the morning or afternoon.
