Lichterman Nature Center

"My Daughter-N-Law is working here for her Summer camp and we stop by for a moment. Very nice and quiet place to relax and sight see."

"I enjoyed this museum probably better than any other museum in Memphis that I have visited! I loved the fact that they had both live animals and wildlife and life like statutes. There was many different sections of the museum that you could go to, but I didn’t have a chance today to visit them all. I liked that they had an event hall (in which a wedding was taking place at the time of my visit) and I thought that was really cool. I loved the lake part that allowed us to see catfish and many other small fish in the area. We also saw live snakes, birds, and my favorite, a bunny! The young lady who allowed to us to get up close and personal to the bunny was super sweet! She was knowledgeable about the breed and everything concerning him! The bunny was super soft and did not bite at all. We took walks around the outside nature area & I wish we had enough time to follow the whole trail. This is a great family museum and it is a must that I return with my children and nieces and nephews. I recommend this place to anyone who loves science, history and nature!"

"We had as blast!! It was part of our free summer pass at pink palace. The kids had a great time feeding the fish and ducks for a dollar a bag of fish food. We were able to bring our packed lunches and eat in the cool air. The trails are fun, but some are a little too overgrown to walk through. We saw a snake crossing over from one pond to the other. The scenery is breathtaking. Well definitely come back for picnic time again"

"Beautiful and will keep wildlife preserve. The staff was an freshly and knowledgeable. There were so many beautiful trails and areas to explore. There were also stuffed examples of most of the wildlife in the area to view and be taught about. They also actually sold plants. It's a must see for nature lovers!"

"Lichterman Nature Center, much more than just beautiful nature. June 2, 2018...we rented the entire green room for a baby shower. I booked this facility over 4 months ago. Pattie is the best. We sat and picked out the best date, she guided me through everything needed to make it happen. She would call and email when something was need and for friendly reminders. The table plans we drew up was laid out exactly as we had set it up. The plans included another children's table kids activities to keep them busy, and their own food table. Our room was clean and the AC had our guest comfortable. Even though the Crepe Maker had 2 skillets going at the same time. Nor did our ice cream stand from Ben and Jerry's do any melting. The kitchen although we didn't utilize it) was clean spacious and well equipped. We had 79 registered guests attending. The bathrooms was clean and paper goods stocked. The children loved exploring the exhibits and venturing out on the grounds with an adult supervisor leading them on the trails. So much nature to explore. Would be also a first choice for children’s outing, summer camp trip, etc...Over all I am very happy I selected this venue for our event. We will choose this facility to have our next event again. One day soon!!!!"
