The building is pretty small but they have some pretty cool animals (mostly reptiles and amphibians, plus few birds). I especially liked the large lizards and the chameleon because of its colors. They keep it pretty warm so your more likely to see the snakes and other reptiles active (and it's a great respite from the cold of winter). Plus, all the animals are rescue animals and the staff are friendly and happy to help you find the sneakier animals.

Best part of west Baltimore! Hawks, turtles, vultures, and owls oh my! This is a must see if you love nature and like to walk the trails but live in the city! This area will be the spot to be when Baltimore turns the city around!

Go to learn about nature and support a nature center that really tries. The building is outdated and crumbling, and the animal enclosures are outdated, and sometimes inadequate. But, it is clear the staff really care and do their best. With a new facility and better funding this place could shine.
