Environmental Learning Center

Reviewed By stephanierH9609RV - Goldsboro, United States

We had a great visit here with our 3.5yo & 2yo. The trails and boardwalk provide an easy way for little ones to explore the rich mangrove ecosystem. There are many thoughtful hands-on learning opportunities for little ones across the campus. The indoor learning center features large aquariums and a touch pool. There also are blocks, puzzles, interactive murals and storybooks available to help little ones learn. Our 2yo fell in love with the "petable" manatee! Highly recommend this for everyone!
