Visitor Center

The Refuge Visitor Center opens each year on April 1st, weather permitting, and closes for the winter on December 1st. At the Visitor Center, you can view exhibits and taxidermy specimens to help you learn about the Refuge and what lives here.

Volunteers are on-hand to help orient you to trails, observations areas and current goings-on. You can pick up Refuge brochures and trail guides at the Visitor Center desk or in the outer display room.

During the spring and summer months, you can view osprey nesting in "real time" thanks to the Osprey Cam monitored by the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex and Penguin Pictures.

Be sure to visit The Lodge Gift Shop, located within the Visitor Center! The Lodge is run by volunteers and the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. Proceeds from gift shop sales benefit habitat conservation and educations in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex.

Hours:
Weekdays  10AM - 3PM
Weekends  10AM - 4PM

*Please call ahead if you have your heart set on visiting the Visitor Center and gift shop. While we do our best to staff them daily, we rely on the time and talents of volunteers and may have to close occasionally due to a staff-shortage.
