Located at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley, the Nature Center at Happy Isles is a classic family-oriented summer destination, offering kid-friendly natural history exhibits, easy access to short hiking trails, and frequent Junior Ranger Programs. This May, thanks to our donors, the Nature Center opened for the season with brand-new exhibits, including a renovated wildlife diorama. Read on for a sneak peek at some of the new displays!
Ready to see the new displays for yourself? Make a day of it! The Nature Center is an easy stop on your way to or from Vernal Fall. If you head that way this summer, check out the new surface material that was recently installed near the Mist Trailhead as part of the trail restoration work our donors help fund in Yosemite.
