The mission of SciWorks is to promote scientific literacy, life-long learning and an appreciation of the sciences by providing innovative educational and recreational experiences for all people through interactive programs and exhibits, collection s, an environmental park and unique facilities.
SciWorks' fifteen-acre Environmental Park is home to a variety of domestic livestock in the demonstration farmyard, and to several native wild animals in natural habitat exhibits. Visit white-tai led deer, wild ducks, and playful river otters. Learn about carnivorous plants at the bog garden, and about culinary and medicinal herbs at the herb garden. The natural woodlands throughout the park as well as the native gardens attract wild visitor s such as songbirds, raptors, squirrels, groundhogs, and even a resident pair of gray foxes!
