The MacKenzie Environmental Education Center is one of the most complete environmental education centers anywhere in Wisconsin.

The Center is situated on 280 acres of rolling fields and forest land. MacKenzie is a wonderful place for family outings, picnics and out of the classroom adventures.

The Center features an exhibit of live Wisconsin wildlife, self-guided hikes and trails, museums, a fire tower, a picnic area and much more.
