According to USA Today, the Tupper Lake Wild Center is competing against some of the nation’s largest science museums for the title of “Best Science Museum.”
The Wild Center is dedicated to bringing the ecosystems and nature of the Adirondacks to your fingertips. Aside from the various exhibits, there are many live animals, amphibians, insects, and fish for visitors to see up close and learn more about.
“A visit to the Wild Center is different than a lot of other natural history museums or science centres because everything is meant to be touched, played with, or opened,” said Nick Gunn, one of the museum’s staff members. “We want people to open drawers and feel and get a sense of nature on a visceral level.”
As of today, the Wild Center is vying for the number one spot, up against a museum in Ohio. Voting is open until February 13th.
The Wild Center is a natural history museum and environmental education center located in Tupper Lake, New York. The center’s mission is to connect people to the Adirondack region and its natural heritage, as well as to inspire them to take action to protect it.
The center features a variety of exhibits and interactive displays that focus on the natural history of the Adirondack region, including its plants, animals, and ecosystems. Visitors can explore the center’s exhibits, watch live animal shows, take guided tours of the outdoor exhibits and trails, and participate in a variety of educational programs and activities.
The Wild Center also offers a wide range of educational programs for people of all ages, including classes, workshops, and field trips. These programs are designed to help visitors of all ages learn about the natural world and the importance of protecting the environment.
