A museum displays archaeological artifacts from our collection in the Resource Centre, along with nature exhibits and hands-on activities for everyone! Audiovisual presentations are shown in the theatres. Visit the Turtle Trail Gift Shop with authentic, one of a kind local native crafts and stained glass.
 
Five nature trails and bridges, two of which are wheelchair accessible, wind through Carolinian woodlands and ravines. Don’t miss the Carey Carolinian Arboretum and Trail and Native Gardens! Enjoy the wildflowers and birds as you stroll the woodlands, meadows and wetlands of Longwoods.
