The 73,000-square foot facility is nestled against a 300-acre natural
area showcasing the state's rich natural heritage through life-like
displays and living, breathing species.
The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science offers
an intimate way for visitors from all fifty states and foreign countries
to become acquainted with the inhabitants of Mississippi's forests,
rivers, skies, and soils. White-tailed deer to waterfowl, catfish
to snapping turtles-each incredible exhibit captivates as it educates.
See 200 species of fish and their aquatic neighbors in a 100,000-gallon
network of giant aquariums. Catch an alligator snoozing in "The
Swamp", a 1,700-square-foot greenhouse with lush plants and its
own 20,000-gallon aquarium.
