Howell Nature Center: Wild Wonders Wildlife Park & Winter Trails

About this adventure

Situated on 230 wooded acres in Livingston County, the Howell Nature Center operates the Wild Wonders Wildlife Park—a licensed wildlife rehabilitation sanctuary that provides permanent homes to injured native Michigan wildlife that cannot return to the wild. Strolling along the snowy, all-terrain stroller accessible wooded boardwalks, children can view native red foxes, bald eagles, snowy owls, bobcats, porcupines, and sandhill cranes in naturalistic outdoor habitats. Admission includes access to the heated Welcome Center and the indoor Nature Zone classroom, featuring hands-on animal bio-fact touch tables, live reptiles, and interactive educational exhibits. Weekend family programs include guided winter nature walks, birdwatching demonstrations, and snowshoe rentals for exploring the center's scenic forest trails.
