Best goat enclosure ever

The hands-on kids museum of the natural history was okay. There were not a lot of animals in the tanks up stairs but nor did any of the staff/volunteers there engage with us or even acknowledge our presence. However, the goat enclosure outside was fantastic!...More

Tree Hill Nature Center

The Tree Hill Nature Center is under repair, they have several tails that are under repair as well as bridges. But you can still enjoy the wild life and the birds. The goat enclosure is still a favorite.

Just ok

At least two of the trails were closed off because of damaged bridges and the gardens were really not gardens at all. I guess it’s ok if you live in the heart of Jacksonville and want to catch a quick walk through nature but it...More

Nice place

Nice place to walk but not for feeding animals like the website says. I think you they should only charge 2 or 3 dollars for parking.

The cost is super reasonable! Like next to nothing. While it is not spectacular; it is pleasant, welcoming, family and child friendly and certainly has enough going on that is interesting and entertaining. Consider it a little hidden jewel in Jacksonville that can be enjoyed...More
