The Experience

Kids ages 4-18 will be greeted by the resident Golden eagle before exploring the 25-acre Hallam Lake nature preserve using microscopes, binoculars and field guides, or building primitive shelters, bridges and tunnels. It's like a zoo, a museum, and a fun hands-on classroom all in one.
