The Charlotte Nature Museum provides a whole day of learning by experiencing wildlife through live animal exhibits and interactive education programs.

The Museum is separated into these sections:

• Beginnings - explore the life cycle of young animals
• Creature Cavern - Get close to opossums, owls, snakes, skinks, skunks and more
• Butterfly Pavilion - Walk among butterflies and watch them as they grow
• Insect Alley - view tiny insects and explore their world.
• Our Big Backyard.- Discover the world underground
• Paw Paw Nature Trail - Take a walk through the woods and see local wildflowers

Kids can sit around and enjoy Grandpa Tree and his forest friends as they tell stories by the “nighttime campfire” or catch a Puppet Show. Museum trips are not only fun for the whole family but they can turn out to be great shopping trips as well!

Gift shops have many unique and educational toys that are perfect for decorating a kid's room. With all of the indoor and outdoor exhibits available its always a great time to visit the Charlotte Nature Museum and adds to the list of fun things to do around Dilworth.
