Good exploration for kids
I took 30 k-2nd grade students here on a field trip. It was perfect for them. Some hiking, animal viewing & some interactive play areas. I highly recommend the Nature Discovery Center for anyone with children.

a very pleasant, tiny, urban oasis
We went for the monthly birding walk and were not disappointed. Mary Ann is knowledgeable about not only the birds we were interested in, but their habitat and song and the trees and other wildlife on site. This was our third visit and we'll be back.
