    Our family had a blast at the discovery center! I called on a weekday in their off season and they let us come with a private appointment! Hailey showed us around the hands on museum part and let our 3-year-old daughter hold a lizard and two snakes. Hailey was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We couldn’t believe how much there was to do there and it kept our daughter’s attention span (that’s saying something for a 3-year-old!). It was the perfect rainy day activity. It stopped raining so we were able to explore the outdoors too. We spent 3 hours there! Our daughter loved the one room school house and tree house. I highly recommend this for families! We are so happy we discovered the discovery center!!

    Thank you so much for having us visit Raven Hill Discovery Center yesterday! We all had so much fun! Some of our favorite things were the trails, getting to hold the snake and bearded dragon, and the museum. A lot of us are planning on visiting again this summer with our families.

    Thank you again!

    Incredible and almost overwhelming how much they have there at Raven Hill. It was far beyond what I was given to expect, when I first checked it out. Won’t spoil the surprise, but it’s definitely 10/10. A must go to!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful learning experience at Raven Hill. Our kiddos had THE BEST DAY! At Raven Hill Discovery Center, 2nd and 3rd graders got to experience the science and history of the world around us! We made connections to our classroom learning of animals and ecosystems, as we held snakes and lizards and explored the wetlands boardwalk. After a time-traveling hike to the Ancient World, we climbed the great pyramid of Giza, ran into the sphinx, and visited the Easter Island head. There is something new to explore, connect to, and learn at every turn! Raven Hill brought science and history to life for our students with a fun-filled and engaging day!

    I wanted to reach out to say thank you for another wonderful visit! Our family has made it an annual tradition to come to the Raven Hill Discovery Center despite the 4 hour drive it takes to get there. My children especially love the hands on experience with animals and roaming your beautiful property all the while showing me new "discoveries" leading to conversations and more questions, which happens to be my favorite part! :) This year I have been homeschooling my 3 young children and I was so grateful to see that you were open and that you were taking such precautions during the time of Covid. I believe you are an invaluable resource to your community and I am grateful that we can continue to support your endeavors!

    Best Wishes,

    My family thanks you very much for the wonderful tour today. You were so gracious to give us a private tour and spend time answering our questions and inspiring us. We spoke of nothing else but Raven Hill at dinner tonight. Comments were made about science, creativity, family heritage, collecting, work, dedication, ideas, beauty, etc. My dad said that you and your (late) husband are passionate about science, my mom's favorite was the snake skin room, my sister was amazed by your rock wall and will be attempting her own wall with her rock collection, my son liked the Egyptian glass display and the display cases of different crafts. It was a beautiful day and I can't thank you enough. --Melinda

    I happened upon the RHDC while vacationing in the area…and what a happy accident! My 2 and 4 year old children absolutely love this place, and even the 5 month old was looking around at all the fun things. Kyra spent a great deal of time showing my children the animals and answering all their questions. We enjoyed the discovery room and could have spent hours in there! We hiked the Jurassic trail and explored the schoolhouse and rang the bell. The treehouse was an extra bonus. We would frequent this place regularly, if we lived closer.
