FIELD TRIP: Fun with sticks at Richardson Nature Center


Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington is one of our favorite local nature centers. Three birds of prey make their home there, and its pretty exciting when they come out with a handler. We also can't get enough of the walls, each one wildly decorated according to a season. I spy a raccoon, what do you spy? There's also a puppet stage and little place to climb in.




Head up the stairs to reach a great viewing area in front of several bird feeders. Enjoy the bird identification books and binoculars while you're up there.

During our last visit, we watched a staff member playing with earthworms, and discovered that earthworms are an invasive species!! Wow! Did you know that?

But the highlight of the park may be the large nature outdoor play area a short walk from the nature center. What kid doesn't love to build with sticks?
