Reviews of Bays Mountain Nature Preserve
"Great place to see nature. There was some construction going on when we went but most of everything was open. Some of the animals were put away for the winter when we were there in early January. The scenery was beautiful even in the winter."
"Nice place for a walk in the woods or a mountain bike ride. A variety of trails, some along the reservoir, others up in the hills."
"This park exceeded my expectations. There was more here than I was expecting. This is a great place for school field trips. We loved the planetarium."
"Planetarium show was not as good as I remember as it was just a canned show with little star action and more video and pictures. ramp in building no longer has a rail which could be problematic for the older visitors. Also, exhibits inside were not varied and had a massive bee display that quite frankly could have been minimized to provide room for other interests (space, native animals, etc). Still, great place to go."
"I have loved this lovely gem of a city park my whole life. They are starting to do a lot of updates and I am very excited to see what is on the horizon for my toddler son to enjoy. Right now he is a big fan of the planetarium shows and the watershed which is home to some native fish and turtles. They have a kids crawl-through cave, and lots of other informative and interactive displays in the nature center including a super cool honeybee exhibit. The trails, the lake, and the programs are all wonderful as well."
