After visiting the exhibits and activity stations in the Ottmar Nature Center, families can take an optional trail walk to look for tracks, signs and other evidence of winter wildlife. Come and go during the two hours, and dress warmly for the walk. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Mass Audubon Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/mass-audubon-oak-knoll-wildlife-sanctuary--listing-aa9fd655bd8044e8cfa3ad4b) — Trails open daily, dawn to dusk · Mass Audubon Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary, Attleboro · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
