In Outside In, inquisitive minds of all ages investigated animal habitats, explored the natural world and discovered how we all have a role to play in our ecosystem.

Designed for all, but especially for children ages 3–8 and their parents, Outside In was a warm, welcoming place to visit a forest, climb in a nest, view specimens, meet live animals and much more.
