The VIC has a variety of wildlife displays including a stuffed mountain lion, coyote, eagle and fox. Here, kids can touch the skins of many animals and see our furry, feathered and four-legged local residents. They can peer into a woodpecker nest hidden in a detachable tree stump, or count the age rings in a cross-cut section of a big old pine trunk. The VIC is a welcome place to rest in the shade of the pines after a hot summer hike, or warm yourself by the fire after a day of playing in the snow. Plenty of local and regional maps as well as books and gift items are stocked and available for purchase.
