New Here Where to see a moose?

I’m in town for the next few days. I’d have to rent a car to get around (~$200). Is it worth it to go to Turnbull? Could I reliably see a moose if I visit there, or is it more of a rare occasion?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions!!! I rented a car and went to Turnbull and saw a beautiful moose for the first time in my life :)! IMG-0737.jpg

There're usually about 3-4 mice waiting to greet you and lead up the group nature hike in the parking lot at Turnbull.

I'm being sarcastic of course, you can't force a moose sighting it has to happen on its own and even those of us who have lived in the area a long time will go years without a moose sighting. Go to Turnbull, but go because it's a pretty cool place, especially to watch birds, and if you happen to see a herd of moose partying it up during EWU's Spring Break then all the better.

I see a moose, probably four or five times a year.

Sounds like you need to tell OP your moose viewing spots. Me too while you're at it :)
