South Fork Natural History Museum
Submitted by Karen on
Tiger salamanders, fish and frogs, skulls galore, and a huge shark with a butterfly on his nose—the South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center has all this and more. A trip to the museum is like a hike through all of the varied ecosystems of the South Fork.
The South Fork Natural History Museum is great for all ages, although it probably is the most fun for school-age children and adults. But even smaller children will enjoy the hidden panels and peek-a-boo windows, not to mention all the living creatures. The museum provides step stools so that smaller children can reach every window. The Children's Museum of the East End just across the road is best for younger children and so a combination visit would be a perfect day out for a family with a wide range of ages.
