Learning Has Never Been So Much Fun!

Landmark Park invites you and your students to explore the wonders of nature up-close with the latest in interactive education...

JOIN THE EXPERIENCE

Landmark Park is a unique 100 acre outdoor classroom where you and your students can experience the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Wiregrass Region.

Numerous "Outdoor Learning Labs" have been especially designed to provide students with valuable hands-on activities to compliment their classroom studies. Each Outdoor Learning Lab utilizes the different resources of Landmark Park, providing a wonderful variety of areas to explore.

And explore we do!!! From our turn-of-the-century farmstead to our outdoor wildlife exhibits, from the STARLAB Planetarium to the boardwalk, the park offers an exciting array of learning opportunities... opportunities that simply cannot be duplicated in the classroom.

A beautiful picnic area is available on the park grounds for groups who choose to picnic.  Gift items and mementos of your visit can be purchased in the Shelley General Store or our gift shop located in the Interpretive Center building.  Among the many educational-oriented items offered are magnifying glasses, rocks and minerals, star charts and 19th century wooden toys.  Merchandise is available in a wide range of prices.  Also, treats such as ice cream, shakes, floats and drinks are available from the old-fashioned soda fountain located in the Martin Drugstore.  Don't forget to visit the latest addition to Landmark Park, "The Barnyard."  The Barnyard is a 15,000 square foot playground built with a barnyard theme.
