Designed with small groups in mind, our tours and experiences at Piedmont Wildlife Center are perfect for scout groups, families, friends, corporate wellness outings or mini retreats. We are located on Leigh Farm Park in Durham, NC. The park includes a disc-golf course, trails, and a large field for picnics or exploration before or after your program.
Due to the outdoor and wooded nature of our programs, some parts of the program/tour will be inaccessible to wheelchairs, walking aids and those with additional mobility concerns. Since we are on a City of Durham park, we are limited in the improvements and additions we can implement. If you have any concerns or questions, please call us at 919-489-0900 prior to booking a tour or program.
