Dining
Nature Museum Restaurant
An 80-seat family restaurant located in the Nature Museum serves a wide selection of soup, salads, sandwiches and picnic items at reasonable prices. For dessert, plan on a scoop of ice cream or some of our delicious homemade fudge!
Find a seat and watch birds crowd the feeders outside the windows or ask to have your food boxed to go so you can enjoy one of the Mountain's hundreds of picnic tables.
The restaurant is open all year from 8 a.m. until 3:30 in winter, 5:30 in summer, and 4:30 in spring and fall.
Picnicking
Over 100 picnic tables and grills are scattered throughout the park. The picnic area located on the right about 1/3 mile up the summit road is equipped with a water fountain and restrooms.
Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic. Those who have not planned ahead can purchase fried chicken or sandwiches "to go" from the Museum restaurant.
Fudge Shop
The Fudge Shop is housed in an eco-friendly building located between the Nature Museum and the Animal Habitats. Watch fudge being made, sample the different flavors and take some home to a friend. In addition to fudge, the shop offers soft-serve ice cream, carmel apples, hot cider, coffee and soft drinks. We can also ship fresh fudge to the destination of your choice at any time of the year. Call 828-733-6518 for available flavors and pricing.
