Although the nature center was closed due to COVID, there were very nice areas for kids to play nearby. The trails were well shaded and very scenic along the creeks and around the lake. Not too many bugs either. Well maintained, but still lots of...Read More

The nature center was closed the Sunday we visited but the kids loved the pond which is full of turtles, tadpoles and frogs!

Such a wonderful place! There’s a lot to do for kids- several indoor interactive exhibits (more like play areas), a cool crawl-through cave, bird watching areas, and a really neat outdoor play area. There are several really easy hiking trails- we love to walk down...Read More

The kids room is very nice, colorful and tidy with several animals displayed in aquariums. Puppets, puzzles, toys and books make for a good time. There is a lot of bird action out the window as well.

Always exciting and educational. If you're an ornithologist, it's a great dawn or dusk walk. Great events, family oriented completely engaging. Don't forget the covered "Valient" bridge, the pond, and raptor areas.
