  One thing we can do because we are in the woods is offer visitors a lot of one on one, which we like to do, and are so glad you and your family took full advantage. When I ask the staff to describe their favorite memories at the Center it is always a story about a person or family that started asking questions and the exchange that happened once that started. It sounds as if your visit is in some staff person's favorite memories list already.

  I attended The Wild Center for a professional education conference and the staff were so accommodating and great. They were able to help with a my technology needs. The food was great also! During the lunch hour we were able to look around the museum and interact with an animal outside of its enclosed. It's a really fascinating museum that showcases the natural history and ecosystem of the Adirondacks.

  The Wild Center is a great place to go for kids and adults both. It has beautiful exhibits and interpretive displays. We have only been there during the fall but plan to return during the summer to see the outside areas and the new wild walk that takes you around a lake and eventually into tree tops. The center is located in Tupper Lake about 1/2 hour drive from Lake Placid, well worth the trip and always a beautiful drive.

  This is a hidden gem of the Adirondacks. If you're visiting and within an hour and a half drive, by all means go. When the suspended outdoor walking bridge is completed, it will be terrific. I especially like the globe exhibit, the otters and the children's touch and experience exhibits.

  My family of four with two teenage boys loved the Wild Center. It was the highlight of our tip to Lake Placid and we'll worth the drive to Tupperware Lake. The exhibits are extremely well made and instructive.

  Fascinating place to learn about habitat and wildlife of Adirondacks. Allow 2-3 hours to see everything. Have directions as not too many signs in town.

  I agree with the reviewer who said there is no much to see and do. Especially considering $17 ticket. It is very kid-oriented, so if you are going with the little one you will have a great time. For the adults - not so much. It took us 15 min to go through the inside exhibits. Outside trails are nice and well maintained, but there are plenty of them in Adirondacks for free. Also, as long as the trail can be accessed from the parking lot and has no gates or warning that you need to pay in order to enter it I got an impression that you can walk the trail for free. Maybe after the suspended walking bridge is finished (July 2015) it will be more interesting, but I bet the price will go up then.

  My wife and I loved the Wild Center We arrived at 11:15am, and contrary to some reviews on TripAdvisor, it takes longer than 2 hours to see all of it. We left at 3pm, and we only covered the inside attractions. We never did get outside to experience the trails because of the rainy cold weather, but we plan to return when they finish the Wild Walk in July, 2015. Well worth the $34 that we spent!
