Archbold is an internationally acclaimed biological research center. It has a small but very informative visitors center, and great nature trails to see and learn about local plants animals and habitats.
Excellent for students of all ages of biological sciences. Has green architecture in use that will inspire. The station's ground s are remarkably beautiful and scenic.
I visited the station with my conservation biology class, and it was great. The dorms/bathrooms are really nice as well. I recommend it for any teacher who wants to bring their students, of any age, to experience this great place.
Amazing adventure! We spent the weekend and had the opportunity of going on a variety of hikes with research scientists and staff. I learned so much in just a short weekend the most important was to look closely and see everything going on in the environment you are in.
Sound ecology and people who truly love our ecosystem and educate everyone who comes there in a friendly and fun manner.
Trails are very short. Not much for visitors to do because the venue is focused on researchers. If you just want a half hour walk then it's perfect.
Very interesting stop for folks traveling through the area. Housed in a historic train depot, offices and labs are here to study the ecology of this rural area. There's a nice trail through the grounds where local plants and flowers can be observed and some tables under the trees for a quiet snack or lunch while you're there.
