Big Tree

Experience our 35-foot-tall bur oak tree from top to bottom. Learn about the importance of trees as a source of food and shelter for all kinds of wildlife and as a renewable resource used to create a variety of products we use every day, making forests an important part of Michigan's economy. On the first story, slide down giant tree roots, look through a lightning-strike fissure and explore inside of the tree trunk. Then head up to the second story to explore the tree canopy and climb a suspension bridge through the foliage.
