Come explore the fascinating
world of natural history at the International
Wildlife Museum! Located five miles west of

of an ancient French Foreign Legion fort located
in Chad, Africa.
The museum contains more than
400 species of mammals, insects, and birds
from around the globe, depicted in natural
and realistic settings. Some of these impressive
collections are over 100 years old.
Hands-on exhibits and interactive
computers encourage fun and learning for all
ages. The 100-seat, state-of-the-art theater
screens wildlife films on the hour. The Oasis
Grill is open for dining 10am-3pm Monday through
Friday.
The museum offers naturalist-led
guided tours, summer camp sessions, live animal
outreach programs, kids birthday parties,
Member Nights, a monthly lecture series and
classes on a variety of natural history subjects.
