Andresen Nature Center

The Andresen Nature Center features displays of local wildlife, insects, and flora found along the local watershed of the Upper Mississippi River. Located within 100 yards of the Mississippi River and adjacent to Heritage Canyon in Fulton, IL, the Center is dedicated to providing insight, information, appreciation, and conservation of our local natural resources.

The Andresen Nature Center is open for scheduled City of Fulton special events, and is available for school field trips, continuing education programs, and private tours. The Nature Center is also available for meetings and private party events, including nature-themed birthday parties! The use of a full kitchen is included in any rental.
