Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center

"I can't believe this FREE hidden gem was so close to us. This is a great afternoon family outing, offering live animals such as snakes and turtles, as well as a variety of taxidermied animals native to Missouri. They also have unique, interesting tableaus and learning stations. Overall, I'd say it's geared towards children, but it's definitely enjoyable as an adult. Also, the staff are exceptionally friendly, and they offer a variety of free learning materials to take home. This is a must-stop if you are in the area."
