Wildlife Interactive Nature Center


Did you know that we have a nature center at the Farmer’s Pantry? It exhibits Ontario wildlife in many different mediums, including live animal exhibits, taxidermied specimens, and all sorts of treasures of nature including bones, feathers and more! You can try your luck at the Friends and Foes of the orchard game, the bone guessing game, or the antler guessing game! There’s tons of picture filled, illustrative information, and tons of neat things for you to touch and feel. If you decide to take a guided tour, you’ll get to learn extra cool facts from one of our friendly and informative hosts, and even have the chance to meet and interact with some of the real live animals in the nature center! Self-use tours are only $2.00 per person, and guided tours are $3.00 per person. If you wish to take a guided tour, please give us a call ahead of time to insure we have a host available to take you through! We ask for this small donation to help maintain the nature center, but also to upgrade it! Wildlife Interactive is my pet project and great pride, so I am constantly working to expand it to make it bigger and better every year! Entrance to the nature center is also free when you attend one of our Saturday Summer Programs! For some extra excitement, come to see the snakes eat on Saturdays at 3pm, or watch the amphibians eat every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
