Raven Hill Discovery Center Description
Located southeast of Petoskey, the eclectic Raven Hill Discovery Center is worth a drive. A hands-on science and nature museum, it invites visitors of all ages to touch, interact, create, and ask questions. Highlights include a reptile room where kids can hold a (friendly) python or pet a giant African turtle, a musical instrument center, and various physics exhibits with marbles and magnets. A one-room school house is outdoors, as is a "Beyond Jurassic Park" path where kids view replicas of paleo-plants and animals.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: School age kids will love Raven Hill, where they can ride a bike to run a generator, play old-fashioned mechanical games, or weave on a real loom.
Planning Notes
- Dress for exploration. The Center contains both indoor and outdoor exhibits, so wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty while the kids explore.
