Detailed Information:
Through a partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, STAR ECO Station rescues and houses "at-risk" exotic wildlife.
Visitors study ecology and environmentalism on a wild and fun encounter with the STAR ECO Station's rescued tropical birds, exotic reptiles, wildcats and ocean life. Designed by real Hollywood set designers to transport visitors to a tropical jungle setting, the STAR ECO Station offers interdisciplinary, hands-on lessons of compassion and empathy for the natural world and inspires visitors to a deep understanding of their role in protecting the Earth.
With a mission of conservation through education, STAR ECO Station is for adults and children alike; it is open to the public on weekends for hands-on eco-educational tours. Admission is $5 for children, $6 for seniors, and $7 for adults.
The STAR ECO Station is also available to host a variety of special events throughout the year, including workshops, conferences and birthday parties.
