The White Cedar Nature Center makes a great stop for people of all ages on your visit to Peninsula State Park. Friendly staff and volunteers will help you become acquainted with the park’s trails, recreational opportunities, unique geology, history and all the natural wonders of the park.
At the Nature Center we have lots of displays on the park’s wildlife. Check out the geology displays and learn how Peninsula’s unique landscape along the Niagara Escarpment was formed. Discover the park’s human history with the Nature Center’s historic photograph and memorabilia collection. Kids can enjoy lots of hands-on displays and reading area along with an exploration room with puzzles, mystery boxes, fun games and activities.
