went here for a field trip with my 3rd grader and the 'docent' for our 'tour' was well inform..told about the local native 'Indians who lived in the area" ...great to see some plant life native to the region...also nice place to roam for a short relaxing walk.

Reserve was closed by 1pm but able to see some birds as they didn't know to stay within fence and flew over into public park where we walked instead.

A Huntington Beach landmark whose recent improvements make it a must see event. It has plant and animal life indigenous to the area. A very good wildlife museum. Very popular with the elementary schools for field trips.

Nice nature center/staff with information about local environment. Nice trails to walk on from the center.

We only recently discovered this special place, although we've lived here for many years. It's perfect for a quick morning excursion with visitors who want to see something about Huntington Beach other than the beach. The paths are inviting and not strenuous at all. We even discovered that there are coastal redwoods here!

Walking around the path you can get a feel of how California might have been before all the people. Rangers are nice and helpful.

This is an all volunteer run enterprise. They took what was a failing situation and turned it around. You can tell how good it is by the number of school trips that go there. It is located in one of Huntington Beaches great Central Parks.

This place is great for the entire family! Nice hiking trail, plenty of plants, trees, a good-size pond for the birds, and a nature center for education. The Shipley Nature Center also provides educational lectures, summer camp for kids.

Wife and I visited on a recent trip to the beach. The nature center itself needs to be kept up better. We saw absolutely no birds or other animals. Not much to offer other than a walk through trees and poorly kept trails.
