My
siblings
and
I
were
visiting
Saint
Joseph
and
looking
for
outdoor
activities
to
do
with
our
dogs.
We
chose
the
Remington
Nature
Center
as
our
trailhead
to
stroll
along
the
Saint
Joseph
Riverwalk,
and
it
was
a
lovely
outing!
The
Riverwalk
winds
along
the
east
bank
of
the
Missouri
River,
and
as
we
walked
we
were
treated
to
beautiful
views
of
the
river,
shaded
by
huge
trees
in
full
leaf,
and
serenaded
by
dozens
of
songbirds
in
the
foliage
along
the
trail.
The
city
has
done
a
great
job
of
beautification
of
the
area,
and
the
place
is
idyllic.
After
our
walk,
we
wanted
to
visit
the
Nature
Center;
since
dogs
aren’t
allowed,
my
sister
stayed
with
our
pets
while
my
brother
and
I
took
a
quick
tour.
It’s
a
delightful
little
center,
and
eclectic
in
its
offerings.
It
has
a
large
freshwater
aquarium,
several
small
aquariums
with
exotic
and
local
fauna,
stuffed
specimens
of
larger
mammals
(such
as
black
bear,
bison,
and
deer),
one
interactive
area
with
the
life
cycle
of
water
and
another
with
sounds
of
the
forest
and
prairie
along
with
information
about
what
animal
makes
them.
There’s
even
a
cool
exhibit
that
shows
the
paw
prints
of
different
animals
one
might
encounter
in
the
region.
Finally,
there’s
a
larger
exhibit
that
occupies
several
rooms
and
traces
the
history
of
the
St
Joseph
area
from
the
earliest
human
inhabitants
through
the
20th
century.
It
was
fascinating
to
look
at
all
the
displays
and
see
the
history
of
the
region
unfold!
The
center
is
very
user-friendly
and
welcomes
children
and
groups.
One
of
the
events
going
on
when
we
were
there
was
a
scavenger
hunt
for
rubber
ducks
that
had
been
stashed
in
strategic
places
throughout
the
center.
It
was
great
fun
to
see
the
kids
searching
so
hard
for
each
duck!
It
certainly
seemed
to
help
them
focus
on
all
the
exhibits
and
displays.
We
appreciate
the
work
of
Remington
Nature
Center
and
look
forward
to
visiting
again
in
the
future.
