Feelin’ Hot, Hot, Hot at eXplore Brown County
Back to school, but the fun does not need to end! eXplore Brown County is proud to say that it's a true tree top to tree top canopy adventure. No need to go to Costa Rica, the dense hardwood forest of Brown County and the Hoosier National Forest provides the same canopy experience. Escape the heat of the city and head for the tree tops to learn about the ecosystem of the woods. There is much to learn as you soar with the birds. Animals of the woods move freely and you may encounter lizards, chipmunks, raccoons, snakes, and perhaps a beautiful white tailed deer. You will find that learning at eXplore Brown County can be fun and exhilarating as guides share their knowledge of the woods and help you to appreciate all the exciting species of plant and animal life around you.
