The Audubon Environmental Education Center is a unique natural history museum and aquarium that puts fun and excitement into experiencing nature. Interactive environmental exhibits allow you to look inside a thirty-three-foot life-size model of a Right Whale, observe marine life in a tide-pool tank, explore a cornfield at night, and view other fascinating nature exhibits. Walking trails lead from the Center across the twenty-eight-acre McIntosh Wildlife Refuge along a quarter-mile boardwalk, which crosses the East Bay Bike path to Narragansett Bay.
