Reviews
"An awesome place to stop off and explore! Although the center itself is small, take your time and walk through the main room. Don't forget to open the drawers of each diorama as they have little informational cards and hands on learning for kids inside. The walk to the overlook was beautiful, as well as the view from it! There was a volunteer that was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and other nature preserves to visit. Within the preserve are a number of walking trails, so if you have little ones, this is a good place to get them out for a bit"
"What a great place for a nice easy hike, the view of the ocean is beautiful and a very easy access trail to reach the observation tower"
"So very happy to see it's open again. Check out the afternoon classes they are free and very informative. The classes are often given by URI Professors. Great place to hike also. Come learn about wildlife on Wildlife Wednesdays."
"Nice, big visitors center. There are lots of hands on experiences for kids. The displays are very nice and informative. The gift shop had stuffed toys and nature books and not much else. We wanted to buy a car decal, but they don’t have them. The staff we saw were courteous, but a little lackluster. The trail out to the overlook was well maintained as was the overlook tower. The view from the tower is awesome. That view makes the trip worth it."
"Great well marked hiking trail early spring growth. Don't miss also the Ninigret look out site near the Kettle Pond visitor center. Has spectacular view of Block Island sound."
