Visitor Information
Unfortunately, due to the current situation, Scales Nature Park will not reopen March 14th as planned. We will be closed for March break and until further notice. This is a precautionary step. All is well with us, and the animals, and we'll look forward to seeing people soon. Good luck to all!
