Such a beautiful space for families - nothing showy, but lots to experience. All nature-centered. Nice events throughout the year that are easy to attend (like story time). The buffalo/bison/elk reserve is beautiful.

This place was amazing!! I had been here before with my kids when they were little to walk the trails and play in the creeks, but I had never been in the nature center. They hosted us for a staff retreat on Friday, August 8, and they were very accommodating. Beautiful trails and stunning, informative displays inside.

This is the place to be when you need to remove screen time, smell the air, see God’s beautiful crafty hands🌹🌸🌷🌻Great is his handiworks. Nature center in the back has a beautiful garden walk path with a man made river creek. Keep driving around and you get to see huge elk and bison. So much to explore it truly is a great place🫶🏼🥰
