Patuxent Wildlife Research Center

Wonderful place and full of unique flora and fauns: threaten by losing at least 200 acres to a proposed maglev train. Demonstrate your anger.

This place makes for great hikes with the fam!! all they need are some cabins to rent along the lake and bam!!! it'll be a hit!! ** go during fall its really nice with leaves changing color. they also have good birdwatching !!nnwatch out for summertime, its a swamp and the giant horseflies come out to bite u**

This place is so beautiful and well maintained.

I went to Patuxent 3 years ago with my STEP Program colleagues and we had a nice time. The lake was nice and we even had a picnic.

Family friendly. Exhibits were cleverly fogged on the outside so you had to go inside. There was something for everyone: telescopes, otter erotica, wolf violence, dancing with cranes, polar bear, snowball fight, coloring. The woman who worked there was very nice, as was the bathroom (soap smelled good! However, the hand dryer was weak.) Interactive exhibit-- skulls!! to touch. Made us feel like we were back in middle school science class.
