this is the place to go if you love or are fascinated by the behaviour of loons. Everything you ever wanted to know about these wonderful birds is here. When you see them out on the lake, "dancing" and calling to their potential mates it is a thrilling experience. For some reason, during the last few years loons have not... More

Good orientation to Loons on the Lake, however there are no loons to watch in their native habitat as the center is not on the water.

I bring my girls every summer to the loon festival that the loon center hosts. They have food, face painting, crafts, music and learning exhibits for the kids

It was a very pleasant walk to the Loon Center down a country road from the Orchard House Inn where we were staying. The center itself has a great movie about loons, and there is a superb loop one can take through the woods and next to a very scenic lake. The gift shop was also well worth a visit.

We were traveling some back roads, and came upon signs leading us to the Loon Center. We spent a couple of hours listening to the video, looking at the exhibits, and exploring the excellent gift shop. We would recommend this place to all who love nature and who want to learn more about the wonderful creatures. There were many hands-on... More

This is off the beaten path but worth it if you want to learn about loons or are supportive of birds and nature. The center is a small building but it packs a punch with the amount of info available. Inside is seating to watch a professinally made video about the life of loons including how they care for their... More

If you love loons and want to learn more about them, this is the place to visit. They have a wonderful video about them (nesting, habitat, threats to them) and several exhibits including hands on ones that are good for kids. They also have out for review lots of scientific data: populations by lake across the state, number of nests... More

As not much of a bird lover myself, so not many things interested me. The gift shop was great & had a wide variety of products for sale. If you love birds, then it is a must.

This attraction is not as developed as I hoped. The first stop is the gift shop, always a bad start with little kids. There are two trails available. Both are quite narrow, since we were wearing shorts and sandals and noticed what looked like poison ivy at the edges we really didn't get very far - just up to a... More
