The Wild Centre invites visitors to discover the storey of the Adirondacks, and to explore new ways that people and nature can thrive in the same place. Explore a place unlike any other nature museum, science centre, zoo, wildlife park, aquarium, convention hall, or classroom you’ve ever seen. Located in Tupper Lake, NY, The Wild Centre uses science-based experiences, exhibits, programmes and over 800 live animals to open new ways to look into the relationship that people have with nature.

Explore an outdoor and indoor experience on 115-acres that’s earned praise from around the world for how it lets visitors of all ages get closer to the natural world. To top it all off, The Wild Center’s Wild Walk, a trail across the treetops, has opened to rave reviews. The Wild Centre has a 54,000-square-foot indoor space, swimming with live exhibits including river otters, multi-media shows and tonnes of hands-on experiences. There are trails, guided canoe trips on the river that runs by the Center’s campus, and a staff ready and willing to show you around, and answer questions about anything having to do with the wild world of the Adirondacks.

Wild Walk adds another dimension to a Wild Centre day, by taking visitors up a trail of bridges to the treetops of the Adirondack forest. The Wild Walk experience includes a four-story twig tree house and swinging bridges, a spider’s web where people can hang out, and chances to just sit and observe the forest below. There’s an over-sized bald eagle’s nest at the highest point where visitors can perch and watch the life of the forest from a whole new point of view.

The Centre features a full museum store, cafe with outdoor waterside seating in season, and daily special events.
