Tom Ridge Environmental Center

Exhibits help explain the peninsula’s habitats and environmental changes, making the center a useful starting point before a day exploring the park.

Consult current visitor information for the center’s exhibitions, programs and theater offerings, which may follow different schedules or admission arrangements. A visit is particularly useful for understanding what to look for on the peninsula’s trails and beaches. Check park notices separately before continuing outdoors, since conditions at the lake can differ from those around the visitor center.
