5 /5 Meryl McQueen: A great stop-off for an informative overview of the local environment. Taxidermy is not everyone’s thing, but the center does have an impressive and well-displayed collection and it’s definitely educational. The walk across the bridge and the rain garden are beautiful no matter what the weather—and in this neck of the woods, in the rain shadow, it’s bound to be sunny. Jump in the river on a hot day for an added bonus!
