Wow! Our 6 year old had the BEST birthday party here. The staff went above and beyond. Friendly, organized and so creative. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves and the other parents did too. The kids crafted, learned about and got to see animals and had a blast exploring all the exhibits. Even with a bunch of routy 6 year olds they were oh so patient. We can’t wait to back and explore here, If you haven’t booked a party.. do it now! You’ll have the best time and so with your kiddo! 💕
Nature center was closed due to covid 19 but trails are great.
With the increasing threats of global warming, the massive fires in the Amazon rainforest and deforestation, that I think it’s essential to our future that we finally recognize our mistakes and start directing our attention towards future generations. It’s places like this where that journey begins. The only true and long term solution we have to overcoming the negative effects we’ve had on our planet is by stopping or minimizing our harmful tendencies, and by offering our children the knowledge and exposure to the natural world we can achieve that. That’s why these nature centers are so important to the direction of our future because they offer our children that first bit of knowledge and exposure which in turn will hopefully develop into respect and appreciation and make them more conscientious towards the environment which is where the real battle lies, in caring.
I’ve been here in the past and it’s very nice inside with plenty of eye candy. I believe they also offer fun nature programs for the kids that you sign up for but I’m not 100% sure if it was here or another place.
Wonderful resource! Great staff and exhibits. A must for kids!
This place has a ton of things to do for little ones. My daughter likes the large play room. There are a few live animals and plenty of bird feeders that attract birds and squirrels. The sensory garden is also nice when it is warm out. My little one never wants to leave.
