    One of our favorite local places to go with our toddlers. Well kept, clean, safe with plenty of things to see and learn about! Great trails outside with sensory experiences and a playground walking distance in the loop.
  • By John Kell
    Great place for the kids to learn a lot about animals and nature and perfect for a rainy day. If you take your time looking at all the exhibits on the inside, it takes about an hour. If you come on a nice day there are plenty of nice trails to explore as well.
  • By Anthony Defreitas
    Fantastic place to bring your kids!!! Totally recommend it and it’s free. Lots of trials I didn’t get to walk yet. A playroom for kids. Fossils they can touch. Glowing rocks. Animals all over. Indoor and outdoor activities. We brought our toddler and he loved it
  • By Valerie Oropilla
    Daughter and I went there today, it is a great educational field trip. She really loves the rocks and minerals exhibits and their crystal displays are really cool. We went first thing in the morning so no one else was there.
  • By Sam Murphy
    Very nice looking Center, they have alot of information for children. Many interactive educational hands on activities and exhibits for kids I was not expecting. My children were also excited to see the live turtles and snakes!! Loved the sensory garden they have right outside. So cute!!
