Museum Overview
The museum is located at I-55 and Lakeland Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, tucked within historic LeFleur's Bluff State Park - an ideal location for a museum whose mission is focused on the promotion and protection of Mississippi's natural landscape and its inhabitants.
The museum's buildings and grounds feature a 73,000-square foot complex overlooking a 300-acre natural landscape, 2.5 miles of nature trails, and an open-air amphitheater.
Indoor exhibits include a series of life-size displays of the state's diverse habitats, a 100,000-gallon aquarium network housing over 200 living species, and a 1,700-square foot greenhouse called "The Swamp." Our committed staff maintains over 30,000 square feet of permanent exhibits along with a gift shop and a 200-seat theater. Click here to learn more about the museum.
