I was very disappointed. There was not much to see. A lot of dead birds exhibit and pictures of Osprey was about it. 2 floors of basically same things. Seems its good if you go on Sunday when you give a donation to see this place .Otherwise not worth the money sadly ;(
Free Nature Trails are cool. . .

We love the experience but just check the website for when they have exhibits. Half of it was closed when we went but my son wanted to go anyway, so we just used our Groupon anyway

Beautiful setting. Ned Davis’s paintings were absolutely enthralling. Loved seeing all of RTP drawings. Check out the prehistoric Hellbenders in the foyer!
