Our 105-acre site is home to many rescue animals, two nature trails, a planetarium theater, a bird aviary, a walk-through butterfly aviary, dozens of exhibits including terrariums, aquariums, dioramas and historical artifacts from both Earth and space - plus welcoming areas available to rent for your gatherings and celebrations. We showcase and talk about certain animals daily at 1:15 pm. We have a cool planetarium (44-foot dome with a Media Globe II planetarium projection system) with two different shows Tuesday - Saturday, and three per day on Sundays. The Planetarium shows are different each month. There are special events happening all throughout the year. Check out our weekly Summer Classes ranging by week and grade from June 3rd to August 5th!
