We stopped in at Meigs Nature Center on a September trip to Hammonassett Beach State Park in Madison, CT. The year old building run almost exclusively by volunteers is filled with interesting exhibits and interactive touch screens. We saw birds, crabs, turtles, a super soft seal pelt, forest animal exhibits and much more.
Outdoors there are three separate gardens to explore.

| Purple Martin Garden |

| Colorful information boards |

| Flowers in the Turtle Pond Garden |

| I didn't see any turtles, but I was able to peak into the fenced pond |
The monarchs were everywhere, but refused to sit still for a photo.

| Humor in the Butterfly Garden |
Did you know that in Connecticut there is always a State Park within a fifteen minute drive? Check out this one the next time you're in Madison!
