This place is amazing! A true gem of the city. Parents, bring your kiddos here to experience the wonder of nature. There’s no where else like it in the area! The classes for kids are fun and highly educational. I’m so thankful there is somewhere like this in our community. Thank you, River Legacy!

We love the nature center and rented it for a party in the evening. The nature center staff was great and offered helpful suggestions on setup and rentals. When looking for a location for a party or reception, definitely consider the nature center.

Stopped in today for something to do with the kids Such a great place! Definitely able to spent 1 to 2 hours just in the nature center then plenty more to do in the park. It's free to visit but they have a more hands on area for $5/adult and $3 ages 3 and up, definitely worth it! donations are accepted as well.

Great place to spend a couple hours walking around and learning about nature. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The kids loved it here! The exhibits in the Lobby are free and so is the nature walk (highly recommend). There is an exhibit room which requires a small fee to enter and explore. They have a small gift shop area too which is very affordable. We want to come back when it's a bit warmer and drier. I bet it's beautiful in the spring!

Been here a few times, first when it was being built, then developed, and now it seems to be a genuinely fine science center full of fun and interactive items suitable for small groups of maybe 10-15 kids, possibly upwards of 25 (in the paid exploration part). The price is absolutely affordable. And the experience is worth it, if only to show the kiddos some of the local wildlife, including some venomous snakes as a cautionary tale. And again, absolutely worth the very affordable price! I sure wish their summer and school year programs didn't fill up so quickly!

My kids had so much! The Discovery Room is incredible, and has a lot of fun, interactive games and activities for kids if all ages. They also have live reptiles you can look at, and beautiful trails you can walk. We will definitely come back again and again.
