Just before you enter the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge from the east on 49 there is the Medicine Park Aquarium & Natural Science Center. This place is absolutely worth the stop, especially if you have little ones. There are over 90 species of fish, reptiles, birds, & mammals. There are eels, alligator gars, turtles & tortoises, tons of fish, and super cute otters (River & Creek)! They even have feeding shows where they feed the gar, the eel, and the otters.

Children: $11 Adults: $13

You can also see cute skunks, quite vocal birds, and rambunctious raccoons.

When I visited with my nephew there was an American Indian PowWow outside as well as food trucks in the parking lot.
