Willowhaven Admission to the facility is free and groups can be scheduled year-round. Groups may schedule a visit Monday - Friday from 9:00 am-5:00 pm. The facility can accommodate up to 75 visitors at one time. It is recommended that large groups split up their time in the interpretive center so the students get the most out of their visit. The Willowhaven Interpretive Center requires a 1:6 adult to child ratio. Willowhaven Interpretive Center does not have a large lunch room or outdoor picnic tables, however, students may use our multipurpose room for lunches. The multipurpose room can accommodate up to 20 people at a time so larger groups must split up lunch times. Please check for Multipurpose room availability when reserving your group. The interpretive center has interactive exhibits and
programs for a wide variety of ages. For
