There are lots activities for children. A great place for learning and hands-on discovery. If you take children on the trails you must watch them carefully or near the wooded side of playground there is a lot of poison ivy everywhere even on the edges of the trails.

This is our favorite nature center in the area. Lots of live animals in tanks (frogs, snakes, turtles, etc), learning exhibits, things to touch, and so many toys! The trails around the center could have been marked better but the area is pretty and we still had a good time. Enjoyed a picnic lunch at...

I have attended both Girl and Cub scout events here and every program was incredibly well done. They were organized, efficient, and managed to keep the kids' attention - even the 7 year old boys. We've enjoyed earning badges, learning new skills, campfires with s'mores, and meeting animals we'd ne...

Good field trip destination for the 4-6 set. Not so great for older than that, regardless of starting origami are grades k-4. There is a lack of structure. Great for a single child or a couple children. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. They make sure all your questions are answered. In this visit, they took in the juvenile black snake that found its way out of the cold and into my warm living room. My kitties were sorry to lose what they regarded as their toy, but Hidden Oaks was happ...

Very educational and interesting place to take kids. They'll have fun with all the activities there, along with the friendly and helpful staff. There are a few hiking paths just outside of the facility too. Our 4 year old had a blast watching the frog pond, which was very active the day we went.

The Hidden Oaks Nature Center has lots to see and do - they have live turtles, frogs and snakes, plus a surprising variety of games, puzzles, costumes, and learning tools for younger children. The naturalists and volunteers are knowledgeable and dedicated. There is a wooded well-marked, relatively f...

I think that this is a very lovely park. It is clean, has ample parking, and clean restrooms. There are different activities to enjoy and there is an outdoor theatre. I enjoyed a wonderful concert the other evening. What I was disappointed about is that there weren't any tennis practice walls. But...

Excellent venue for smaller children. In the winter time, it is an excellent place to bring the kids to burn a little extra energy, especially if they're excited by animals and nature in general. There are plenty of toy dinosaurs to play with, as well as some to dress up in. There are quite a few tu...

I am hesitant to fish to openly about Hidden Oaks for fear of it becoming overwhelmingly crowded but it truly is amazing. The outdoor discovery area and trails are well maintained and great for a large age range. It's a great spot to physically distance outside and, when things are different, the na...

This was really fun we attended a private event for my daughter's school and it was informative and interactive. My kid really enjoyed herself and learned a bit about nature. It was scary, especially with covid-19 everywhere - but with masks and common sense - we had fun. I would make a return tr...

Nice kid oriented nature center. We went for a Dr. Suess program given by a ranger there. She did a great job at keeping the preschoolers' attention with stories, crafts, live animals and even cupcakes. Nice trails outside also. Small parking lot but they say there is a larger one a short dista...

This is such a fun area to walk around and be in nature. Every so often there are little stations with animal footprints that you can try to identify. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there were not too many people. Most wore masks and stayed socially distanced. Great to see such a fun nature park...

Came here on mother's dayfor a quiet family walk with a 2-year old. Even though the nature center was closed there was plenty for us to do. The trails were well marked and well-maintained.

It definitely was not very crowded and there is a lot of variety in the terrain. Some of the paths are paved...

Hidden Oaks Nature Center has beautiful trails, a fun playground and an educational nature center that should be your "go to place" with your little children. There is so much to explore and learn! Make this your new family outing location no matter the season; spring, summer, fall or winter for the...
