We were underwhelmed with the nature center, but it likely would be a great destination if you have kids. Half of the animals were not in their enclosures. That being said, it was a cheap hour of entertainment.

Just got back from this Nature Center and was disappointed with how the animals were taken care of. Animals should be free and not confined to their small enclosures. It has been a wet spring in Asheville however this should not be a reason the animals need to walk in the mud. Animals that are caged or in an enclosure... More

Was really cool to see the wolves. Heard them howling from across the zoo. They are beautiful! Enjoyed seeing the bears too. Loved how everything looked like natural environments.

We love the animals and the walk is nice...not too long. All the animals are native to the region. The river otters are our favorite. Cost is reasonable and worth it!

This is a small zoo but the animals have big, natural enclosures. The reptile area is especially nice. The otters are enjoyable. Although this place is small, it is worth a stop. It is a hilly site so be prepared to walk uphill during parts of the visit.

Such fun, so many animals to see and touch, we have a membership and go regularly. From the otters to the farm animals to the large grounds for lots of walking and running, it's a great family outing.

My wife saw their picture on a billboard and WNCNC immediately became inscribed on our itenerary. She loves otters. The Nature center had a couple of lively ones and we got there right in time for the feeding frenzy. I also enjoyed the cougars, wolves and black bears. There was a small fee, but i think it was worth it.

My grandkids and I have spent many happy hours here. It is well laid out, accessible, and the perfect place for a family lying.

Nothing great but not bad. Like walking around the zoo. Petting area fun for the kids. 2hr max time for us.
