Sturgeon Spotlight

Join us for a celebration of lake sturgeon, one of Ohio's most fascinating native fish! This drop-in program invites families to learn about these ancient creatures that once filled our local waterways and are now returning to the region. You'll have the chance to chat with a naturalist who can answer your questions and share their knowledge about these gentle giants. During your visit, you and your kids can enjoy a variety of activities including books, crafts, coloring pages, and hands-on experiences designed to spark curiosity about sturgeon. This is a great opportunity to build an appreciation for these remarkable fish before the upcoming sturgeon release. All ages are welcome to stop by anytime during the program window—no registration needed. If you have questions beforehand, the Nature Realm Visitors Center staff are happy to help.
