点评:My siblings and I were visiting Saint Joseph and looking for outdoor activities to do with our dogs. We chose the Remington Nature Center as our trailhead to stroll along the Saint Joseph Riverwalk, and it was a lovely outing!
The Riverwalk winds along the east bank of the Missouri River, and as we walked we were treated to beautiful views of the river, shaded by huge trees in full leaf, and serenaded by dozens of songbirds in the foliage along the trail. The city has done a great job of beautification of the area, and the place is idyllic.
After our walk, we wanted to visit the Nature Center; since dogs aren’t allowed, my sister stayed with our pets while my brother and I took a quick tour.
It’s a delightful little center, and eclectic in its offerings. It has a large freshwater aquarium, several small aquariums with exotic and local fauna, stuffed specimens of larger mammals (such as black bear, bison, and deer), one interactive area with the life cycle of water and another with sounds of the forest and prairie along with information about what animal makes them. There’s even a cool exhibit that shows the paw prints of different animals one might encounter in the region. Finally, there’s a larger exhibit that occupies several rooms and traces the history of the St Joseph area from the earliest human inhabitants through the 20th century. It was fascinating to look at all the displays and see the history of the region unfold!
The center is very user-friendly and welcomes children and groups. One of the events going on when we were there was a scavenger hunt for rubber ducks that had been stashed in strategic places throughout the center. It was great fun to see the kids searching so hard for each duck! It certainly seemed to help them focus on all the exhibits and displays.
We appreciate the work of Remington Nature Center and look forward to visiting again in the future.

河滨步道沿着密苏里河的东岸蜿蜒而行,当我们行走时,我们可以欣赏到河流的美丽景色,被茂盛的大树遮荫,沿途的树叶上有数十只鸣禽唱着小夜曲。这座城市在美化该地区方面做得很好,这里是田园诗般的。
散步结束后,我们想去参观自然中心;由于不允许携带狗,我姐姐和我们的宠物住在一起,而我和哥哥则快速游览了一下。
这是一个令人愉快的小中心,其产品不拘一格。它有一个大型淡水水族馆,几个小型水族馆,里面有外来和当地的动物群,大型哺乳动物的毛绒标本(如黑熊、野牛和鹿),一个互动区展示水的生命周期,另一个互动区展示森林和森林的声音。草原以及有关是什么动物制造它们的信息。甚至还有一个很酷的展览,展示了人们在该地区可能遇到的不同动物的爪印。最后,还有一个更大的展览,占据了几个房间,追溯了圣约瑟夫地区从最早的人类居民到 20 世纪的历史。观看所有的展览并了解该地区的历史真是令人着迷!
该中心非常人性化,欢迎儿童和团体。我们在那里时正在进行的活动之一是寻找橡皮鸭,这些橡皮鸭被藏在整个中心的战略位置。看到孩子们如此努力地寻找每只鸭子真是太有趣了!这似乎确实帮助他们专注于所有的展品和展示。
我们感谢雷明顿自然中心的工作,并期待将来再次访问。
