VISIT

"Stunning.." The New York Times

The Wild Center is open seven-days-a-week. Whenever you choose to come, there are swimming otters, terrific engaging exhibits and plenty to explore outside and inside.

The award-winning Center houses live exhibits and multi-media shows. This year, we also feature Planet Adirondack, a new show with a giant floating Earth where you can see the planet come alive.

You can explore the 31-acre campus on marked trails. There are theaters with high definition films, plenty of hands-on activities and hundreds of live animals from rare native trout, to porcupines, hawks, and many other often hard-to-see residents of the woods and waters. Learn more about the indoor and outdoor exhibits.

This page has everything you need to plan your trip to the new base camp for exploring the wild world around you. You can use the navigation at left for directions and other help.
