What visitors say

Great nature area, with multiple trails to explore, the longest being 2.6 miles, and the shortest being .25 miles. All trails are easy to do. Admission to the nature center is free, and there's a nature activity area for kids to…
Always a great visit. Beautiful walking trails, a story walk, walk the planets. The planetarium shows are fun. The small museum with an aquarium and a few live animals is always a hit. And almost all of it is free.
What a cool find. I was invited to a baby shower here last weekend. I'm so glad I went! I have to come back with my kids. They're going to love this place. I'll have to wait for the mosquitoes to chill out. Very cool spot to visit.
