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 difference 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.

Reservations for Outdoor Learning Labs are accepted beginning the month of August for the upcoming school year. Due to their popularity, teachers are encouraged to make their reservations as soon as possible. Reservations can be made by calling the park office (334-794-3452) Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The majority of Outdoor Learning Labs are limited to 60 students per session, but scheduling adjustments can be made for larger groups. Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday only. Two sessions are offered daily, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. 

Also, if you have a special request or would like for our staff to emphasize a particular subject during your program, please call the park office a few weeks in advance so we may better serve you.

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.

School groups are encouraged to utilize the park as an outdoor classroom on their own. A "Teacher's Guide" has been developed to assist you with your visit.
