South Shore Natural Science

Kira LaFosse-Baker

This property is amazing. Beautiful grounds and trails that are super educational and accessible for kids and families as well as a great place for a walk and a picnic for adults. The EcoZone inside the main building is a ton of fun with lots of cool animals (mostly turtles at the moment but so many different kinds!) and information about our local ecosystem. There's a beautiful garden outside that you can walk through and enjoy and there's an owl and a hawk behind the building that are very awesome to observe (quietly). They host a number of fun programs and events throughout the year and they run an amazing nature-based preschool program. There's truly something for everyone here! PS there's a South Shore Quest here that's a lot of fun :)

Beautiful little museum that provides many services. We recently attended their maple day and got to tap maple trees. It is not a large place but they do SO much with the space they have.

This destination is wonderful. They have a mini museum/learning center and beautiful walking trails...clean bathrooms and great staff. They're annual Corn festival in September is a must and not to be missed.

I love the Science Center! In fact, we're here again when we just came to the Corn Festival on Saturday. The kids love seeing the animals and playing with their outdoor action center and music area. I love the nature trails and all the events they out together. If you have kids, this is a great place to be (not to mention it's free to all YMCA members!).
