This immersive zoological exhibition, nestled in a landscape where granite peaks meet ancient forests, unveils the secrets of its geology and the vibrant life that thrives within. From hyper-realistic dioramas that transport you to the nocturnal world of its inhabitants, to detailed replicas and engaging audiovisuals, every corner invites curiosity. Beyond the museum walls, you can wander the botanical path, home to over 60 peninsular species, or use provided binoculars at the bird observatory, feeling the crisp mountain air. The experience is yours to shape, with optional workshops and interpretive routes to deepen your understanding of this unique natural community. As John Muir once said, "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." Here, you'll find that truth in abundance.
