The Leslie Science & Nature Center is a nonprofit organization located on the northern side of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our mission is to provide environmental education and experiences for children, families, and other individuals to honor and perpetuate the legacy of Dr. and Mrs. Eugene Leslie by fostering understanding, appreciation, stewardship and respect for the natural world.
We reach curious nature explorers of all ages through educational programs that feature our enthusiastic teaching staff, live birds of prey, and other small critters. Our 50-acre site encompasses wooded hiking trails, live raptor enclosures, and a Critter House filled with small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Every year, LSNC touches more than 55,000 individuals through programs designed for a wide variety of populations, including schoolchildren, families, scouts, summer campers, toddlers, children with autism, and elderly persons.
Our grounds, trails, and raptor enclosures are open every day of the year, from sunrise to sunset, with free admission. Whether you are a parent, teacher, student or citizen, there’s something for everyone, so come visit us!
