Howell Nature Center


The Wild Wonders Wildlife Park at Howell Nature Center features a half-mile woodland trail with over 70 animals.

The animals represent 30 bird, mammal, and reptile species that are native to Michigan. All of the animals at Howell Nature Center have been permanently injured or have imprinted on humans and cannot be released.

Alexandria’s NatureScape is a natural children’s play area with a waterfall kids can splash in, sand dunes they can dig in, stumps to jump and spider webs for climbing. Kids can build a shelter, water paint, and more. Towering above the naturescape is the Tree House, a wheel chair-accessible treehouse with 7000 square feet of ramps, suspension bridges, and platforms. Inside the Treehouse, you’ll find hands-on activities like a discovery table, book nook, and bird watching.
