Habitat Hall includes the White River Water Table, a Music of the Wetlands exhibit and an elevated Hardwood Forest viewing area that puts visitors up in the canopy, along with live animal enclosures, costumes and games. A bird and wildlife observation room has feeding stations and a sound system so children can hear the birds, and a small library holds field guides. Classrooms and an auditorium host nature classes, after-school activities and environmental crafts. Wildflower gardens and a prairie sit outside, and the nature center restrooms serve the park in winter. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Fall Colors Festival at McCloud Nature Park](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/fall-colors-festival-at-mccloud-nature-park--listing-a4a7b042f7f98ae8e2313ebc) — Sat, Oct 24 · 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM · McCloud Nature Park, North Salem · Free · checked Oct 24.
