Open 361 Days a Year: Admissions 10:00am – 3:30pm; park closes at 4:30pm

Due to significant flooding and impassable roads in our region from Tropical Storm Helene, the WNC Nature Center is temporarily CLOSED. It will take time to reopen. We will need your support as we recover and rebuild. www.wildwnc.org/donate.

Despite being closed, you can still book Custom Experiences, including private, guided tours and other small events! www.wildwnc.org/events.
Our Outreach Education team is still providing affordable, offsite programs with ambassador animals!
