In addition to the 2013 admission sticker to Wisconsin State Parks and Forests there are also nature-oriented holiday gifts and stocking stuffers available at Glacier’s Gifts shop in the Ice Age Center at Interstate Park. Nature books and field guides, wildlife posters and puzzles, and a new selection of sweatshirts are offered for sale by the Friends of Interstate Park.

Children’s items including nature activity books, a wide variety of stuffed animals and wildlife finger puppets make ideal stocking stuffers. A paid annual or lifetime membership to the Friends of Interstate Park is also an excellent gift idea.
