Wild Center
The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, near the center of Adirondack Park, has been named the No.1 science museum in the country by readers of USA Today. The Wild Center resides on 81 acres and has a 54,000-square-foot indoor space, filled with live exhibits, multi-media shows and 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 Center 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 oversized 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 Center features a full museum store, a cafe with outdoor waterside seating in season, and daily special events.
