Reviews of Four Rivers Environmental Education Center
"Beautiful views of the river from the windows. Excellent interactive bird exhibit. Huge aquarium of local river fish. Floor was covered in enormous aerial view map of the area. I'll definitely come back in warm weather to enjoy the native plantings, trails, and views of the river."
"This time of year, October, is a great time to go and observe the birds who are migrating through on their way to the South. The confluence of the two rivers makes it a wonderful resting and feeding area. This area is so well-maintained and it was a beautiful day! We saw beautiful white swans and a snowy egret. Be sure to bring your binoculars! We didn't actually go into the center because it is closed on weekends."
"I captured a wedding here and just loved the location. I love the outdoor space for the ceremony and had great locations for photos nearby. The reception was tons of fun and was the perfect space for all the formals and dancing!"
"This is a beautiful educational preserve, they have specialty items inside for purchase from local places & all the trails are well kept and clean, beautiful scenery with a ton of bird species."
"Gorgeous facility with revolving exhibits. We went today to see the quilts of endangered animals. We were greeted by a super friendly worker and there was plenty of close parking. Also, immaculate bathrooms if you need them. Visit!"
