Visited KC from the UK, and decided to visit here for a couple of hours. Its a lovely little nature centre. A nice little selection of animals on show. With all the learning materials on offer I felt like it was more aimed towards children …

I like the architectural design. It's wide open with no walls, feels really open. Tall windows across the back display a wildlife area. Lots of local animals rehabbing from injuries waiting to be reintroduced to the wild. Great educational displays featuring the animals.
Tim Winn was our awesome guide. He took us through trails and provided great information on what we saw. Beautiful day. Great butterfly garden and wetland. Inside snakes, squirrels, turtles, fish and large birds like bald eagles, owls, vulture and hawks including perigine. Loved it. Spent 2.5 hours. Highly recommend.
Fantastic nature sanctuary, kids will love it.
Wonderful place to bring the kids for an adventure. There's a wide variety of critters for the kids to enjoy. The animals were all in clean tanks and seemed happy. Staff was friendly and helpful. We went on a walk/hike on the Fox Hollow Trail afterwards which is right outside the main entrance. Highly recommend!
Very educational! Great seating area for kids to have a puppet show and play with puzzles. A wonderful touch and feel area to see antlers and furs up close. Nice to see so many animals and the wildlife conservation efforts right here in the metro.
