Seemed like a mish-mash, not well planned or maintained. Nature center building--most of the displays worn out and not working--sort of a mess. Parking far from the nature center and restrooms. Beautiful property, though, but hard for the first-time visitor to navigate. No food or beverages for sale. We were disappointed and do not plan to return, but might if...

I had a membership for a year, which was given to me by volunteering there. I often went there with my family and lets just say it was beautiful. The trees, the gardens, it felt quite good just being there and breathing in that fresh air. It was a great place to relax and to have a picnic with your...

Just spent the week there with 40 ~ 2nd graders and had an fabulous time. Beautiful land, with knowledgeable staff. We learned about nature, science, math, careers, and got to do hiking in the snow on the first day of spring :) ! Okay the last one was God's doing, but it was awesome!
Looking forward to purchasing a season...

I had a membership for a year, and often took my grandchild there along with another mother and her little ones. It was a great place to let the kids run safely away from traffic, enjoy a picnic, and learn a bit about nature and wildlife.
Very nice nature center. Stumbled onto the place while searching for something to do with kids during an overnight Kzoo trip. We visited for a quick stop in winter and weren't in the mood to explore the expansive outdoor areas and trails, but were still impressed with the exhibits inside. Not extensive, but still enjoyable.
Very knowledgeable staff, great hiking trails and lots of cool indoor activities for rainy days too.
The nature center has lots of great paths to walk with a great variety of lengths and difficulties. It has some great indoor exhibits with lots of interactive activities for the kids. It has a nice indoor atrium with lots of plants, some birds, and fish.
Fabulously presented museum style center with knowledgeable staff and amazing outdoor attractions. Gardens for picnics and superbly managed hiking trails. Trails not very stroller friendly, but we made it.
