A temporary administrative office is located in the Museum Center Building, 500 Clinton Avenue, Suite 216, Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center is under construction on 3.4 acres in Little Rock. The 16,232 square foot building will overlook the Arkansas River and is within the Julius Breckling Riverfront Park. The site is a part of the River Market District, and is adjacent to the Museum of Discovery, Clinton Foundation Store and the Clinton Presidential Library. Visitors to the State House Convention Center may access the grounds by choosing one of several walking routes.

The center will focus on the wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities that our state’s fish and wildlife resources provide. Exhibits will highlight the role of fish and wildlife management and many of the projects conducted throughout the history of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The location along the Arkansas River allows many watchable wildlife activities within an urban area. Basking water turtles, butterflies and migrating pelicans are common sights. A portion of the Arkansas River Trail crosses the site, offering more options for exploration. The grounds of the center will include beds of native plants found throughout the state, while the main building will include an exhibit hall, aquariums, gift shop, theater and special educational programs.
