My wife and I visited here while on vacation. This place was awesome. The numerous trails are beautiful and well kept. They have a number of resident animals all of whom are stunning. All of the residents are well taken care of and, while they cannot be released due to permanent injury, help with their education programs. Great place to support, donated in addition to the entry fee. Well worth it to be able to get that close to so amazing animals such as their two resident Great Horned Owls. If you are in the area, check out this Nature Center and help support them and their work.

There is so much to see and do here! We easily spent a couple hours here while visiting Mystic on a chilly day. There are a lot of exhibits for kids to interact with indoors, a listening room that tells the story of nighttime and helps kids learn about different animal sounds, live turtles, a snake, and frogs, all inside. Everything is very educational and well-thought out. Outside there are some gorgeous birds that have disabilities, so they are living their best lives here. There are beautiful walking trails with ponds and creeks, giant boulders, and a beautiful meadow. The staff is very helpful and friendly. This place is affordable and definitely worth a visit!

Wow! We saw no other guests and wandered all over. Lovely animals and interactive displays inside, a few raptors outside. The 4 yr old loved the bunny hopping freely inside. They honor blue star families, but regular admission is $8 for adults, less for kids. Picnic area at entry, inside, and benches scattered along paths. You could managed a wheeled chair, but some paths are heavily root-filled. Board walks, swamps, ponds, forest...we have to go back when the kids can walk longer on a hot hot day. Mosquitoes can be pesky. Loved it!
