When my own now grown children were teenagers, they worked here behind the scenes at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum, cleaning hundreds of animal cages and taking care of the animals on R&R from the public that they had brought to our home for rest. Thus, the museum played a very special part in their upbringing as they learned about the animals they cared for and the other important skills involved with volunteer work. But this place is not really a museum at all! It is a place in our community where injured animals are skillfully cared for and either released back into the wild, if possible, or are used to teach the public. Every aspect of the place is intensely interactive. Each visit will bring a new discovery because the museum is constantly changing. There are displays and special areas for all age levels. And when the children have had enough of the indoors, there is a first-rate play area just outside the museum.

We look forward to taking some of our youngest grandchildren and returning for a visit. We (adults) especially liked the hospital demonstration through one way glass plus a TV screen so one could see a bird being examined. The docent gave us the bird's history, how it had been wounded, and that it would be released later that day. It was fascinating. I enjoyed the infrared black and white photography display in the basement. It wasn't, however, easy for us to find. Parking is limited but one can park on the street in the non-neighborhood, houses area. One can also park across the street in the church parking lot, but not on Sundays.

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, Lindsey Wildlife Museum is the place to visit for the whole family. There are uncaged raptors and owls sitting high out of reach of human hands, but you are close enough to make eye contact, hear them "talking" and it feels like you are having a once in a lifetime experience out in nature. There are reptiles to view in their environment, plenty of docents to answer questions, and there are lots of hands on activities for all ages. You can sit in a nest, virtually fly like a bird and even measure your wingspan! If you are in the area, it is a must see destination!

This is a great beginning spot to introduce young children to ecology, science, and animals in general. My out-of town grandkids always ask if we could go there.

I visit here often with my 6 year old granddaughter. It has the best beehive I have ever seen anywhere, with a marked queen and great visibility of all their activity - larvae, hatching, gathering of pollen, and flight to the outside world. My granddaughter is especially captivated by the raptors and their feeding, and between feedings they sit tethered above where you can see them and listen to them.

This is a very nice experience. It is part museum but most of the action is in the live animals. You can see different wild birds that for some reason are not in the wild. At certain times you can watch as the vets and techs work to restore health to a sick or injured animal. Most of the action is on the upper floor but it is worth a trip to the lower floor if only to see the diorama from all angles. And a nice gift shop. Then grab lunch or snack at Larkey Market a half block away, then back to the park to eat and play.

From the turkey vulture outdoors to the predator birds inside and the hands on playroom spaces, the rich experiences of getting a close up view of the wildflife that surrounds us and the in depth explanations of habits and features...a family with children can have fun, learn and explore for well over two hours

The Lindsey is a great place to take young children. Just big enough for litle ones not to be overwhelmed.Wildlife that kids can recognize near their homes-raccoons,birds,snakes,etc. They also have a "hands on" art room for children to make prijects related to their visit. Very friendly staff and volunteers.

My hubby and I came here for the first time and enjoyed learning more about the Lindsay Wildlife Museum Center and seeing the wildlife in person. The wildlife talks were also awesome to listen to during our visit. The staff members were nice and friendly as well.

Lindsay Wildlife is an amazing organization. Love what they do for animals. The Museum itself is small, about 10 or so live animals to see and then a few activities for hands on. It is best suited for a young child who would like to see the animals and enjoy the activity room OR for an older child who is very interested in learning more about animals, habitats and such. Hard to keep and in between age child engaged for more than an hour or so. It is located right next to a great park and combining the park and museum makes for a good outing.
