The nature center offers an immersive experience for visitors. Interactive exhibits invite guests to step into the shoes of the early settlers navigating the Great Black Swamp or to experience the journey of migrating birds. A children’s play area replicates the iconic Toledo Harbor Lighthouse, which can be seen from the shores of Lake Erie outside the nature center.
All Lodge & Park programs and Nature Center hours are subject to change. Programs and events are weather dependent unless otherwise noted.
