We stopped here on our way to the P-town in hopes to find some outdoor hikes to do while on the Cape for the day , and we are glad we did. There is a large parking lot with free parking. You have access to several hikes right from the the lot. The visitor's center has an abundance of information abut the Cape and all the activities available. If you are looking for hikes as we were, as the Ranger for a "self guide" map of the Cape. The map is free and shows numerous places to get out doors. After our visit to the tip of the Cape, we stopped again and hiked the three trails. There are some very beautiful views if you take the time to stop and enjoy them.

you have been in traffic for a few hours and have a few more ahead of you. Hit this visitors center, stretch your legs, get great info on the canal and its history for all ages, walk the jetty a bit and the dog. Now when you go over the canal, you will know so much more about it and appreciate it.

I have attended several events at Joppa Flats Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary, organized by David Davis, the Poet in Residence. These events featured poets and/or photographers and/or birders who wrote poems about birds, took marvelous photos of birds, or wrote nature poems or pieces. The events were delightful and included open mic time which brought in more spontaneous readings - all great! I highly recommend any program put on at this center.

Very quaint visitors center, with a lovely deck all the way around the building and awesome views in all directions. A higher deck gives you even better views. Helpful staff.
10. Great Falls Discovery Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 37 reviews
Housed within a complex of old paper mill buildings in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, the Great Falls Discovery Center's exhibits show the natural, cultural, and industrial history of the Connecticut River watershed. The Center's four acres of colorful gardens and open lawn nestle into a bend in the Connecticut River to provide a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and the perfect place for fun and learning. Inside the main building, walk-through dioramas show the plants, animals, and landscapes of this 410-mile-long river from its source near the Canadian border, through forests and farms, past villages, towns, and cities, all the way down to Long Island Sound. A timeline indicates the impacts of human habitation on each environment over time and suggests safeguards to keep the watershed healthy and useful for all-people, plants, and animals-that live here together. The Center's charming Great Hall is a former machine shop, with a high ceiling, brick walls, and large windows. Free admission.

I went to the Great Falls Discovery Center in October. It is a small museum that highlights the impact humans have had on the Connecticut River Watershed. It has many dioramas showing what animals could be found in the area. It is set next to the Canal Side Rail Trail. It was the most interesting thing I found in Turner Falls. I would not make a special trip out if not already in the area.
