Plan Your VisitWhat's new
Free Open House on June 4!
We’re joining in on the Explore West St. Paul Days festivities with the City of West St. Paul this year!
Come to Dodge on June 4 for a free, all-ages open house to discover all there is to do at your local nature center. Explore the trails, meet reptiles and birds, learn with naturalists, and more.
Sponsor your favorite farm animal
Spring has sprung on the farm which means baby animals, busy barns, and lots of hungry mouths to feed! Sponsor an animal to help care for the 450+ animals across Dodge’s two working farms. It’s a fun way to support hands-on learning while getting a few perks along the way.
Whether you’re team tiny bee or team big baby calf, there’s something for everyone.
