Due to significant flooding and impassable roads in our region from Tropical Storm Helene, the WNC Nature Center is temporarily CLOSED.

All of our animals are safe and accounted for, and there is minimal damage to the habitats. However, Swannanoa River Road and the main bridge to the Nature Center were washed away, and it will take time to reopen. We will undoubtedly need your support as we rebuild. 

Donations can be made at www.wildwnc.org/donate.

This program is for children ages 5-12. An adult is required to attend with the children in a group.  Tickets include admission for the day and a 10% discount coupon for the Gift Shop valid only for the day of the event. 

Due to the narrow locations of some behind-the-scenes areas, strollers are not allowed for this program.
