Tupper Lake, N.Y. – For the third year in a row, The Wild Center is honored to be nominated as "Best Science Museum" in USA TODAY's 2025 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. But The Wild Center isn’t just a nominee; it’s defending its title. Last year, the Center was named the best science museum in the country among institutions like Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute and Detroit’s Michigan Science Center. Friends and fans of The Wild Center are encouraged to vote online now until Feb. 10.

Selected by a panel of travel experts, the list of 20 nominees highlights museums nationwide where the wonders of science and natural history spring to life. Voting for the awards is open to the public, and votes are tallied daily. Readers are allowed one online vote per day.

 “To be nominated for this award for three consecutive years is an incredible honor,” said The Wild Center’s Marketing Director, Nick Gunn. “To win last year is a testament to our community and shows the world what the Adirondacks are made of. We encourage everyone to show that small-town spirit by voting early, voting often, and helping us put our corner of the world on the map once again.”
