Adirondack Wildlife is a great place for the family to meet wildlife. They take in hundreds of injured wildlife, ranging from bears to coywolves and fox, and from eagles to owls, hawks, and falcons. The animals are rehabilitated and about 70% are successfully returned to the wild. You will have the opportunity to meet bears, wolves, eagles and other animals, and learn all about those animals, and their roles in nature. Admission is by voluntary admission.

Visiting Garnet Mine Tours is like walking along an official path of history where you get to explore the World’s largest garnet mine and learn about the history and geology and the surrounding area. Fun for all ages – treasure hunting in the garnet mines! Starting at the Gore Mountain Mineral Shop you follow a tour guide, in your own car, to the site of the Garnet Mines. Your tour guide will share the history and geology of the Garnet Mine and demonstrate how you will find your own garnet gemstones, large garnet crystal faces and beautiful, museum-quality mineral specimens. You will visit the # 1 open pit where you can collect your own garnets. The mine site is flat, making it good for walking, and wheelchair accessible. Back at the Gem and Mineral Shop you'll weigh your garnet rocks and our trained staff will help you identify your gemstones.
