Spotter's Adventure Club

Calling all Spotter’s Adventure Pups, Grades K through 5, and their favorite grownups for a morning of exploration, learning, and fun!

Meet on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 11 a.m. for activities that allow you and your little one to explore with their native Mississippi wildlife friends.

Spotter's Adventure Trail

Meet "Spotter the Otter" and friends along this 8-foot-wide walking trail that features a fun and interactive outdoor experience linking MDWFP's Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (MMNS), the Mississippi Children's Museum (MCM), and the LeFleur's Bluff Playground.

Be sure to snap a selfie with Spotter before you leave!

The trail was designed and illustrated by MCM’s Senior Graphic Designer, Lori Nesbit. Characters were brought to life through stories and exhibit elements by MDWFP’s staff and MCM’s Education Team, which was led by William Moore, Assistant Director of Exhibits.
