Discover Dodge Nature Center Open House

Come explore Dodge Nature Center during Explore West St. Paul Days! Enjoy a free, all-ages open house to discover all you can do at your local nature center.

Connect with Dodge naturalists at hands-on activity stations. Meet our resident birds and reptiles up close. Hike down the boardwalk to see wildlife and native plants in the woods and wetlands. Wander the prairie to see what’s blooming and buzzing in summer. Come curious—there’s plenty to explore!

Plus, enjoy complimentary lemonade & sweet tea and a prize wheel provided by Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers.
