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.

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.
