Description


Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium

The American National Fish and Wildlife Museum, doing business as Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium, also known as Wonders of Wildlife Zooquarium or just Wonders of Wildlife in Springfield, Missouri, showcases more than 225 species of live animals, fresh and saltwater aquariums, interactive displays and educational programs. The 92,000-square-foot (8,500 m) facility, designed by Cambridge Seven Associates, opened on November 2, 2001.[1][2] The attraction closed in December 2007, with the announcement of a planned expansion that would have increased the square footage of the facility by 58 percent, at a cost of $25 million. Subsequently, museum representatives have announced a much more ambitious expansion, at a cost of about $80 million. They expect to open the Conservation Education Center by the end of December 2011, with the rest of the museum planned to be open by December 2012.[3] As of 2014, the museum is still closed for renovations. It's expected to reopen in March 2015. [4]
