Tally Ho! An Adventure Awaits!

Join Nature Cat and his friends for a wild day of discovery at the Muskegon Museum of History & Science as we celebrate the opening of our newest exhibit, Nature Cat: Backyard and Beyond, on Saturday, May 30, 2026!

Kick off the adventure with a fun, open-house style celebration for explorers of all ages. Meet Nature Cat in person to snap a photo with your favorite backyard adventurer, and dive into hands-on activities inspired by the natural world.
