“Very Cool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The walk around was great- a bit long for kids the ages of mine (2 & 6) but really interesting. We saw amazing birds and looked for other wildlife with our binoculars. Great way to spend an hour or so.

“SPI nature center-truly lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The nature grounds surrounding the center are lovely and peaceful.
the staff are nice and helpful. Am not a "bird' expert, but loved walking out among the wildlife. The center is tasteful and not "touristy" a great place for yound and old. we walked to it from our hotel

“Awesome place to go!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

I went to the Birding and Nature Center last year and have been back several times.
There is such a large variety of birds. It will take you several hours to walk around and see the birds. Every time a get a nice day I go there and walk. .
