Reviews
"The Barnes memorial nature center is a wonderful spot for parties learning about nature. There are walking trails and engaging exhibits for kids. This weekend. They had a apple cider making event happening. Lots of local events and community outreach. Make this place worth a visit."
"Wonderful Nature Center, great activities for kids and the trails are well maintained and marked with different degrees of difficulty from easy to moderate."
"I grew up down the street from here and spent most of my days roaming around the nature center and its trails. I was happy to be able to visit and see the changes that have been made. They are also trying to build a 1 mile fully accessible nature trail which I'm happily donating!"
"Great for children of all ages. Lots of hands on fun. Live and stuffed animals to view. Clean. There are nature trails (was not able to explore, weather permitting). Parking lot, wheelchair accessible, no changing table in restrooms. Free."
