We have enjoyed the center for years. What was so disappointing in October was literally half of the displays were non operational with no signs explaining. My son was so eager to hear and learn but unfortunately missed out a lot. If funding is needed I'm sure a small entrance fee would be well received if it meant functioning displays! (Although you do pay to get into Assateague to begin with). Volunteers were top notch and so were the rangers though!!

Must have with kids. Rangers are all awesome. So friendly. Did a walk and kids had a aquarium talk. Loved having this part of our weekend to remember with kids camping.

Great stop along the trail. Rented bikes on Chincoteague and peddled onto the National Park. Stopped to make sandwiches here at the picnic tables and found this great spot. Full on nature center with wildlife history. Nice gift shop with tons of books and activities for families. Bug spray, Teeshirts and water too. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful facility with look outs that you can use binoculars to try to spy some of the local wildlife. The refuge is beautiful inside and out. Gift shop on site. Also a viewing of a movie is available to help increase your knowledge about the Island's history. ..including local community members who were important to the story of the Island's main residence the famous Chincoteague ponies. Restrooms on site too. Also the Refuge Trek Bus Tour can be booked through here as well. Definite must see if your making a trip to Chincoteague and Assateague!!

Interesting subject matter, I'm comparing it to other visited centers and it's a little below those in layout and presentation.
