Mudpuppy Palace

Mudpuppy Palace Mudpuppy Palace is a nature-based learning center and natural playscape coming to Mt. Vernon, IN. Mudpuppy Palace is excited to be in negotiations to join Mt.

Mudpuppy Palace is a registered 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization. Vernon, Indiana within the next year. Founded by two Mt. Vernon natives, it will be a unique learning center for ALL ages. Named after Indiana's native salamander - the Mudpuppy, our mission is to support young learners through natural play and outdoor exploration. Similar to a children's museum but with nature center components,

the Mudpuppy Palace campus will have both indoor and outdoor facilities with the goal of providing a safe space for anyone to explore the wonderment of nature during all weather and seasons. It will also be home to a walking trail of native plants, as well as several garden plots and an outdoor classroom pavilion. Stay tuned for more information about daily admission, camps, classes, field trips, birthday parties, facility rentals, and more!
