The Hunting Island Nature Center nurtures the child in us all. The Nature Center has live animals and exhibits that delve into the diverse habitats of Hunting Island State Park. It provides a wonderful learning environment for all of our future Rangers young and old! 

​

​Hunting Island State Park is one of the most popular parks in South Carolina, home to five miles of beaches, thousands of acres of marsh and maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon, and a variety of land and marine wildlife. The Nature Center is located at the entrance to the park’s fishing pier on the southern tip of the island and it offers fascinating educational opportunities for all ages. The renovated center features local Gullah artwork, animal exhibits housing alligators, turtles, and snakes, and a variety of artifacts and displays interpreting the area’s history, natural environment, and wildlife. Interpretative rangers will be available at the Nature Center for education and hands-on experiences that will exceed the expectations of visitors, especially children.
