About this place
Walking Mountains Science Center is an environmental education organization with several locations around Avon and Vail, Colorado, including its main Tang Campus, the Nature Discovery Center atop Vail Mountain, and the Precourt Sweetwater Campus near Dotsero. Kids and families can explore trails, join hands-on nature programs and camps, and take guided hikes or snowshoe tours focused on local wildlife and mountain ecology. The Vail Mountain location features natural history exhibits about area wildlife and offers free nature hikes, though reaching it requires a scenic gondola pass. The main Avon site is generally open Monday through Saturday from 8:30am to 4pm in summer, while hours and seasonal closures vary by location, so checking ahead is worthwhile.
