Tupper Lake’s Wild Center is one of our favorite places in the Adirondacks. It’s an immersive experience for all ages that fosters a greater understanding and appreciation of the unique natural aspects that make the Adirondacks exceptional.

But don’t just take our word for it; USA TODAY’s 2024 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards named it the "Best Science Museum" in America.

Take a stroll on the Wild Walk.

Now is the perfect time to visit the Wild Center! On Saturday, November 9, all visitors can enter free of charge.

This is a fantastic opportunity to explore exciting attractions, including the brand-new Raquette River Roll, the Wild Walk, Stickwork, Forest Music, and the Pines Play Area. Inside, you can meet the River Otters, watch an intriguing film in the Flammer Theater, or try out the Virtual Reality experience with Birdly VR and feel the sensation of flight.

Although entry is complimentary, The Wild Center asks visitors to reserve their free tickets online.
