An activity center cabinet provides children with a listening phone for nature sounds, exploration into feely compartments, a dry slate surface for making tracks with various   stamps and a creature feature where children can see a critter up close and personal. There are several games, puzzles, books, furs & stuffed animals to investigate. 
The children’s area has an ​interactive velcro wall depicting the outdoors.  Children can place fabric animals on the wall in their habitat.
Our Life in a Log exhibit allows children to literally crawl thru to explore what may live inside of a decaying log or what has grown outside, similar to the logs that have fallen in the forest.

​A library is available where individuals can spend some quiet time to learn about nature and what it has to offer.  Individuals may read a book, explore the mounted animals, watch a movie or work on the computer.  Small meetings can also take place in the library.
