Located right on the Gorge Waterway, the Nature House was opened in 2008 and serves as a local community hub of marine and environmental education. Get your hands wet with a touch tank of live marine animals from our coast, check out a 3-D model of the surrounding watershed and have fun exploring various displays that provide a hands-on learning experience about local terrestrial and aquatic environments. The Nature House also runs educational programs for school and community groups, offers birthday party programs and operates a small concession stand and retail store.
