What is the Discovery Zone?

The Discovery Zone is a nature center located in Fairfield County on 171 acres providing enrichment opportunities and links to school curricula in the areas of nature, science, and history. 
Three trails lead you through an intricate outdoor Scavenger Hunt, created by two of the state's leading experts, with 27 learning stations featuring interpretive signs that encourage explorers young and old to find clues and evidence of how the land was used by people and animals past and present. 

And the best part? Admission is FREE! 

How do I get there?
