 | Animal StarsCreated in 2005, the Animal Stars building was created so visitors could view where some of our education animals reside when they are not busy at a show. The Stars building also features three reptile exhibits displaying a Reticulated Python, Green Iguana, and Boa Constrictor. |
Wetland ExperienceThe Wetland Experience, opened in spring of 2006, is a natural wetland ecosystem with plants and fish native to Michigan wetlands. With an underwater viewing area, a crawl-through "beaver dam", and a beautiful waterfall, this is truly an up-close and personal wetland experience. |  | | | |
