Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- 210 acres of forests, meadows and wetlands surround this interactive nature center, whose trails, gardens, and open-concept exhibit halls provide spectacular views of Caves Valley.
- Take your pick of several indoor and outdoor sites, including the all-season Green Building and the lush Woodland Garden. And you'll definitely want to set aside a little time to snap some unforgettable photos in the Butterfly House!
- Add an element of adventure with an overnight campout. The Center's Barn Lawn can accommodate 50 campers, and the facility provides picnic tables and firewood for the bonfire rings.
