The Outdoor Discovery Center opened a 5,000 square-foot visitor center in 2016. The center features a North American wildlife exhibit, interpretive displays, live animals, and taxidermy. Also on site is the Birds of Prey Education Facility, the home to 12 species
of hawks, owls, falcons, eagles, vultures, and more. Little ones will enjoy the Imagination Forest, which is focused on inspiring creative play using natural materials such as logs, stumps, rocks, and sand. The 150-acre preserve offers easy to walk trails as well.

Since you’re in the area...
Visit Windmill Island Gardens for a taste of the Netherlands and an authentic Dutch windmill that produces stone ground flour. There is an admission price, but it’s worth it for the guided tour, displays, manicured gardens, and (in the summer) Dutch dancing.

Since you’re in the area... The surrounding area has lots of options when it comes to museums and historic homes to visit, yet nature still prevails even in city surroundings. The Hawk Woods Nature Center has a small network of well-maintained trails that are quiet
and peaceful.
