A fun and educational adventure awaits you at the Brookshire’s Wildlife Museum. The museum tour will take you about 30 minutes to complete. With 150 mammals, reptiles, fowl and aquatic species from North America, the Artic and Africa are on display at this unique museum. The museum offers spectacular, realistic wildlife dioramas alongside stimulating educational information for each of the animals. Among the animals are a 10-foot polar bear, an American bison, African lions, and several varieties of bears. A visit to the replica Country Store gives museum guests a nostalgic look at yesteryear by displaying grocery items from the 1920s.
