Stage Nature Center in Troy, Michigan

A free nature center with a children’s discovery area, wildlife viewing, raptors, and two miles of trails.

Little explorers can investigate hands-on exhibits, watch wildlife, visit non-releasable birds of prey, and take a short walk through meadow, forest, marsh, and river habitats. The indoor children’s nature area makes this an easy outing even when attention spans are short.
