The Wild Center lives up to its name. This state-of-the-art museum takes the old, stodgy natural history museum to new heights with hands-on exhibitions, live animals, films and hiking trails that allow guests to see, hear, smell and really feel flora and fauna of the area.
An homage to the rich nature of the Adirondacks, The Wild Center offers a plethora of educational and entertaining diversions. At the Glacial Wall, learn how the area was formed by glaciers at the end of the last ice age. Stroll the Long River Trail and spend some time at the trout pool populated by fish, turtles, ducks and insects. Linger in the Find Out Forest, an indoor gallery with multiple screens showing films and videos related to the animals of the Adirondacks.
If there’s snow on the ground, take advantage of complimentary snowshoes to explore the huge nature campus and track animal paw prints. Or, in warm weather months, follow the 2 miles (3 km) of trails. In the end, you'll have a new appreciation for nature and the rich wildlife of the Adirondacks.
