Sieur de Monts Nature Center at Acadia National Park
The Sieur de Monts Nature Center is typically open from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day. Hours vary depending on the season. It is located in the Sieur de Monts Spring area of Acadia National Park and is reached via the Park Loop Road. Sieur de Monts Spring is the first exit once you enter the loop portion of the road. The Nature Center has a small exhibit area that focuses on the animals and plants that live in Acadia National Park. However, I found it to be more of an information center than a nature center, and most people stop by to ask questions about the park, not to look at the exhibits. Park and other brochures are available inside, as are restrooms.
As for the exhibits, topics include invasive species, the reintroduction of Peregrine falcons to the area, and how fire plays a part in nature. There are also a few taxidermic animals on display. You can read all of the information in fifteen minutes.
