Spotter's Adventure Trail

Meet "Spotter the Otter" and friends along this 8-foot-wide walking trail that features a fun and interactive outdoor experience linking MDWFP's Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (MMNS), the Mississippi Children's Museum (MCM), and the LeFleur's Bluff Playground.

Be sure to snap a selfie with Spotter before you leave!

The trail was designed and illustrated by MCM’s Senior Graphic Designer, Lori Nesbit. Characters were brought to life through stories and exhibit elements by MDWFP’s staff and MCM’s Education Team, which was led by William Moore, Assistant Director of Exhibits.

The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation's generous $4.2 million grant for improving the health and well-being of Mississippians made this innovative project possible and their leadership team played a visionary role in the LBC's development.
