Community Free Day

November 8, 2025

10:00 am - 5:00 pm

In honor of Veteran's Day, The Wild Center will open our doors to our community, free of charge, on November 8.

Reservations recommended.  Make yours today >>>

Now is the perfect time to experience The Wild Center. All visitors are welcome to curate their Wild Center experience by exploring Wild Walk, Stickwork, Raquette River Roll, Forest Music and the Pines Play Area. Then head inside to relax with the River Otters, see a featured film in the Flammer Theater, or strap on a VR headset and experience flight on Birdly VR.

We're also using this as an opportunity to collect donations for the Tupper Lake Food Pantry. Visitors are encouraged to bring in-demand items to drop off at collection bins inside the main entrance. In-demand items include:
- Canned proteins (tuna, chicken, etc.)
- Peanut Butter
- Crackers
- Bread
- Canned fruits and veggies
- Fresh potatoes
- Fresh carrots
- Dog and Cat food
