A Nature Experience is the perfect way to create your own outdoor adventure! You can request a specific Nature Experience, like the ones described below and many others, or you can design your own adventure so you’re sure to see and do everything you’re most excited about, with one of our expert naturalists there to guide you.

  • Animal Encounter - venture behind the scenes and learn about some of our animal ambassadors.

  • Exploration Backpack - a self-guided adventure with a backpack full of tools and guides for exploration.

  • Hike with a Hawk - explore our campus with one of our wildlife staff and a resident hawk.

  • Wildflower Walk - explore our campus with one of our naturalists and learn about wildflowers.

Our members and visitors often request new experiences we haven’t thought of yet, so get creative and let us know what you’re interested in. Request your adventure by filling out this short interest form today!

What are people saying about Nature Experience?

“We scheduled an animal encounter, which came with two animal experiences included, and we added a third. We got up-close and personal with a king snake, great horned owl, and broad-winged hawk.”

Our guide, Tish, was absolutely wonderful! We would recommend the experience to anyone!”

— Angela Wade, Nature Experience Participant
