Outdoor Discovery & Trails
Appreciate the natural beauty of our 100-acre woodland setting through our outdoor experiences, a forest-inspired play area, and our nature trails!
Our trails offer expansive views of the Connecticut River and outdoor exhibits that explore the ecology of the Upper Connecticut River Valley, from animal migration patterns and native plants to towering rock formations and land-use history. The Planet Walk, our largest exhibit, even takes you on a scale-model journey from the Sun all the way out to dwarf planet Pluto!
