The nature center hours are typically 8:30AM-5PM weekdays and 1-5PM weekends with longer hours during the summer. The main nature center contains a few exhibits which are not updated on a regular basis. The planetarium is getting a make-over and will be reopened soon. The herpetarium is filled with live animal exhibit, thus neat for those who like crawling and sithering things. The facility serves a large student population from around the region.

There are also outdoor live animal exhibits, including otter, deer, raccoon, and wolves. Check out the WolfCam at Waymark Code: WM52N2.
