The Adirondack Experience & The Wild Center

We found two great places to visit and learn about the area.

Our first stop was the Wild Center.

 They had live animals such as this kestrel.

And this lively otter!

Plus many fish and reptiles to observe.

 My favorite was the outdoor Wild Walk, 

an elevated boardwalk & treehouse adventure trail.

Complete with a huge eagle nest!

We also visited the Adirondack Experience,
a really cool place to learn about everything Adirondack.

There are exhibits about logging,

complete with an interactive logjam that you must unjam.

 There are also boat exhibits,

and other displays indigenous to the region,
such as ice saws and snow rollers.
And of course Adirondack furniture.

There is lots to learn about the culture and history of the Adirondacks
and this is the place to start!
