The Wild Center

We were a little disappointed in what we discovered here. We knew there would definitely be attractions for children, but this is almost 100% geared for kids. If we knew that, we probably wouldn't have come, but we can see that kids would enjoy this place. We did enjoy the trails around the property. We liked seeing the animals outside (the ravens, porcupine, and the falcon), the artwork around the pond, the Forest Music. It's a beautiful property. The outdoor bathrooms could use improvement. They were not pleasant to use. The indoor space harbors a smell that smacks you in the face when you walk in. We were told it's from Otter waste, and decay that certain types of bugs are eating. I'm not sure what could be done to have that more under control, but it made us not want to stay inside the building too long. We did get used to it after a while, but is it safe to breathe in? We managed to catch a discussion about the Otter. The young lady presenting did a great job. It was fun to see the Otter in action. The space is hard to accommodate a lot of people, however. The information provided for kids along the Wild Walk is severely lacking. I think it could definitely use more "zoo" like placards with some more in depth information about what you're trying to exhibit. I can't see the kids learning a ton of new information out there. The indoor exhibits were a little bit better, information wise, but still felt a little lacking. All in all, I'd say if you had kids, sure, this would be a fun place to visit. For just adults, though... I'd find something else to discover.
