"Even though I live in the area I had never been to the Nature Center. I was pleasantly surprised! I especially liked the arrow head collection. There were also live snakes. (Not a fan.) The girl working was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions about arrow heads, butterflies in the area, and others. I'm definitely going back!"

"I love the nature center. It is a friendly place for young and old, alike to explore animals and insects, alive and display. I am 57, and I have visited it with family and friends, even alone, multiple times. It still fascinates me. What I like best is to watch the kids explore."

"We make sure to visit here a couple times a year, in the late fall and in the early spring, before it gets too crowded. They have a nice nature center at the top of the hill which is worth the climb."
