CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence. Now in its eighth year, the achievement celebrates businesses that have earned great traveller reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year. Certificate of Excellence recipients include attractions, restaurants and accommodations located all over the world that have continually delivered a quality customer experience.
“We strive to provide excellent experiences to people as they seek to discover nature,” said Sara Turner, manager of the nature center. “It’s nice to see those people go back to TripAdvisor and leave such glowing reviews of their experience.”
The Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center, located within Cape Girardeau’s North County Park, showcases the rich cultural history and diverse natural resources of southeastern Missouri. The nature center features two miles of trails that wind through rolling river hills with sinkholes, ravines, and deep hollows, wildlife-viewing areas and native plant gardens. Guests can explore hands-on exhibits, a children's play area, and freshwater aquariums inside. The center is financially supported by the 1/8 of one percent Conservation State Sales Tax.
