The staff was super friendly and helpful! Interesting history behind the taxidermy birds. They have educational kits you can borrow for outreach or homeschool programs. There is also a gift shop. Parking on the street in front from 10-3 or paid parking across the street in the mall parking garage.

Great place to shop for binoculars, scopes, books, bird seeds and all things birdy! They host community events here and feature a bird skin and educational library.

Super friendly with a great collection. You have to ask to see their collection of birds but it's worth the time to see different birds up close.
