Quite a bit to see in the main room, but very loud and requires reading for a lot of the display so may not be best suited for younger children unless they have a guide. Best part was interaction with the reptiles. Wish there was less time inside and more time outside to explore the grounds as we couldn't make it through everything *This was a school organized event

Awesome place. We were visiting friends and this was a Great addition to our trip from NC!

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her class field trip to Raven Hill at the end of the school year. The museum portion was full of hands on activities and items for the kids to touch and utilize to their hearts content. The reptiles and fish that were kept there looked to be well kept and in good health. The staff was knowledgeable on all of the different parts of the museum and they did a wonderful job educating the kids. My daughter loved the outdoor portion of the trip as well. I adored the one room schoolhouse and the treehouse in the woods. They were beautifully maintained and you can see the love that goes into those exhibits. Overall, it was a very nice experience for a young school group and I enjoyed the visit there.

The Raven Hill Discovery Center is a place that is phenomenal for children ages 3-99+. Going to the center is a 15 minute drive from the infamous SkyBridge at Boyne City. When you first arrive, you initially are presented with some small amounts of construction taking place and plenty of parking. It is a beautiful property with an engaging indoor center for all ages. There are multiple areas of hands on experiences, and an animal room that is ran by the sweetest lady who will tell you stories that will make you laugh. They take in exotic animals that can no longer be cared for and allows all ages to interact and learn. After going through the indoor portion, there is a map to guide you through the many hands on exhibits outside. The most amazing parts I thought were the hand built cedar treehouse and the fabulous kaleidoscope planter. The views on this property are breathtaking and have made for wonderful memories. Take a chance and come explore. I will happily come back and invite all who visit this area to see this beautiful treasure.

Such a great hidden gem! Tons of hands on activists for kids and adults. We’re able to hold a snake and bearded dragon, as well as feed some tortoises. Walked the trails to check out the treehouse and school, and drove through the ancient world exhibit. We will definitely return.
