I've lived in Mobile County for 44 years and never knew about this place. My kids attend Mobile county public schools but have never came here for field trips through the school. I was looking for something local to do for spring break and found this on google. I absolutely loved it. They have so many things to look at and we stayed for a few hours. Inside they have aquariums with reptiles and fish, tons of interesting things to look at and learn and the staff are more than happy to answer any questions. Outside are multiple walking trails that are beautiful with facts about different trees posted on them and QR codes for further research. We saw owls, hawks, geese, alligator, turtles, all types of birds, and so much more. There is a beautiful lake with picnic tables beside it where you can have a picnic and I fully intend to do that next trip. This is a hidden gem and I can't wait to go back. read more
