Our Mission

Raven Hill Discovery Center ignites curiosity and lifelong learning by uniting science, history, and the arts through hands-on experiences for every age.

Our Story

Incorporated in 1991 and opened in 1992, Raven Hill was born from founders Cheri and Tim Leach’s vision: a rural Northern Michigan campus where families explore everything from prehistory to the cosmos across 175 acres.

What We Offer

• Interactive exhibits and an exotic animal room
• Outdoor adventures: Music Garden, Jurassic Park walk, One-Room Schoolhouse, Accessible Tree House, Ancient World
• New Connections Trail (2021) and Evolving Technology wing (2022), tracing innovation from the Stone Age to today

Every corner of Raven Hill invites you to touch, experiment, and connect ideas—fueling fresh ways of thinking and imagining what’s next.
