Helen Schuler Nature Centre — Attraction in Lethbridge

A fantastic local attraction providing education about the local environment. Free entry, although donations appreciated. Designed for kids, there is still enough to make it worthwhile for adults to visit too.

The current art exhibit of origami animals is worth travelling to see alone. But, if you have the time, also make sure you visit the roof garden.

The Helen Schuler Nature Centre what a great place. This place is great for kids to explore and learn new stuff about plants and animals. Don showed us around and took the time to talk about all the different type of activities was great. This place has very clean washroom facilities and fun facts on the walls. There are two water fountains and you can also refill your water flasks. I enjoyed checking out the art work that must of taking a lot of hours to create out of paper. Photos don't do it justice. This place is must see and it's basically Free. Thanks again Don for giving my wife and I a tour...
