The GEHC is an amazing experience! I've worked there for over three years and saw thousands of ecstatic kids interacting with their exhibits. It is a fun place to take your kids to, a good venue place and the park with balanced trails complete the GEHC culture.
Cool place to take your children and have a celebration
Fun filled and interesting place for kids. I went there off day with a group. Would give it try during regular days to see how actually the faculty is.
I visited this place for a wedding. Did not get the scope to explore the entire area. Likes the place. Big parking lot. Nice lobby, good hall. Restrooms are nice and well maintained. It s very good place for any function like wedding reception or any other formal party. I just wish there be more light inside the hall.
This is my go to spot for walks when the weather is good. They have nice trials and a few that are good to walk when you are feeling adventurous. There are a couple thought that I think should be better labeled and done to make it easier to walk on. Other then that I love this place
Great for kids! Educational and a whole lot of fun.
Such a beautiful place!! The tour guide was amazing!
Small but great FREE museum! Takes about two hours to see it all. Kids 3+ would enjoy. Gift shop actually had beautiful things, too.
The best outdoor save on the county. Great trails and water
What a jewel to have as part of the community. The sodded roofs with grasses and wild flowers sets the stage to open your mind to the power of doing things more ecologically sustainable. The dinasour event open to the public was great fun with the kiddos.
On this day I was more about visiting the trails than visiting the Environmental Center, but the Environmental Center is good, too. The trails around the Center are beautiful. There are the main paved trails and then dozens of little side trails all over the place. I didn't explore all of the trails, but I will definitely be back for more!
It is a beautiful place to get to know and be in touch with nature
Awesome place with lots of things to do. Tons of trails to hike. Great venue for special occasions. Educational as well .
What a gem in Gwinnett County! We got gift passes for Christmas and were very pleased with the experience. They have a water exhibit and "Blue Planet" movie inside; both are great for kids and adults of all ages. There is also a rotating exhibit room. We saw the interactive electricity exhibit and really enjoyed it. Educator was available to answer any questions and do crafts with the kids. Looking forward to visiting in warmer weather so we can explore the miles of walking trails! We are lucky to have this in bustling Gwinnett!
FUN!! Love that this place is so close to the Mall of GA.
Great place to learn more about the water recycling process, nature and history. There are wonderful hands-on learning tools as well. We will definitely visit again.
Such a beautiful and perfect wedding venue! It was affordable and the parking lot was so convenient for traveling guests. The outside of the building and greenery made for gorgeous pictures. The inside looked great as well! While I was eating my dinner, I took a moment and looked around and the room and it looked so nice! The greenery seen outside the windows was so pretty and made the room look bigger and brighter in the best way! The staff was very helpful and informed in the planning process and worked with me along the way to make everything perfect!
If you haven't been here, you don't know what you are missing!
The scenery is beautiful and there's a lot of history here. Would recommend!
My son's wedding was here and the venue transformed into a beautiful oasis of love for this blessed event! The entire center inside and out is an amazing place to visit! You won't be disappointed.
Great trails, excellent maps, some of the exhibits were non functioning. Kids enjoyed the place and the ropes course was very awesome
Excellent hiking trails. Connects to Ivy Creek Greenway for additional hiking and biking.
Decent hiking for people with limited mobility or parents with a stroller. However, the wide, paved path means less shade. Also, the fire ants were swarming and actually climbing our shoes and socks. I dont mean in one location; I mean over 70% of the trail. 3-stars because of the ants.
They are in the process of upgrading a few exhibits and the turtles weren't roaming but my 5 year old had a blast and it's free for most of it!
So much to do and see here, for kids and adults. Special thanks to Rand for providing a quick impromptu tour of the antebellum home on the property.
This is a great place to get out and get back in touch with nature
Love that place for events inside, for hacking outside
This place is fantastic. Went for Willy's wedding and got hammered, crushed the dance floor and made like a million great jokes. Terrific facilities, too. 10 outta 10 cabbage cans.
A fantastically maintained, paved walkway stretching for miles, following an urban river with several artificial features that blend right in to the natural rock formations. A very nice experience.
I went with a camp and we didn't really do anything there. So no I will never go back
We walk and ride bikes in the trails. Always clean and well kept. Love it.
Excellent place for a hike. Plenty of paved and non-paved trails to explore.
Beautiful, zen property....we eloped here last week and they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating!
Great paved trails with beautiful scenery and tranquility.
An amazing place to visit with family and learn about our environment. Great instructional games for kids as well
So peaceful and tranquil. A great place to exercise and enjoy the sun and fresh air!
If you love finding a seemingly hidden gem in the wilderness, this is a good spot. It has a real dialogue with the surrounding woods that blends architecture with nature. Being educational makes it one of my favorites as well. I stumbled across it on a running trail. Great experience :)
What a lovely place for a wedding! My cousin had a wedding there which at first seemed to be an unusual place for a wedding! Lol! However the location was perfect there was an area for the actual ceremony and then a separate area for the reception. They had an electronic welcome sign with their name on it...... the star feature at this location was the indoor waterfall equipped with lighting to display their monogram! Wow! This is the perfect wedding venue for a small two medium-sized wedding!
Went here for my sons test for school staff was not very friendly
As we were leaving park a black bear ran from zip line area to other side. Be aware of your surroundings even in a public park.
Great place to go for a walk with your dog or kids. Lots to do here with your family
Will have to go back on a warmer day and check out more of the trails. The staff was extremely friendly and informative.
Just attended a wedding reception there. What a lovely place! I had never been there before. One of Gwinnett County's many hidden gems.
Went on a tour with a first grade field trip. Our guide Ms. Sherry was very attentive and fun for the kids. The facility is very organized and has lots of opportunities to learn about new things.
The property is beautiful with great trails. I have been there for an event and my daughter's school has used the location for end of grade testing. They offer summer camps for kids and other activities that are great to learn about the environment. The learning center is full of great information about Gwinnett and North Georgia history.
Great place to explore. Lovely walking trails. The building is very cool with its grass roof and conservation water feature.
My 6 year old would rather go here than the movies! They make history and science come alive. I always tell my friends to check their site regularly and check the upcoming events.
My son went here on a field trip this past week. The place was amazing. Big shout out to Mick!!! He did great with the class and was very knowledgeable!
Great place to explore nature, but I had a rather haunting experience at the old house they recently moved to their grounds. I encountered a spirit/ghost yelling POGGERS! at me. I have no clue what that means.. I guess it s a slur from the 1800s.
Worse place ever to take pictures called and they said it would perfect a wedding was just finished and we got the permission to take pictures. We walked around to take pictures and was told to leave because the wedding party was exiting.Go someone where the isbetter management, they gave us permission on site and then we where denied. Paid a professional photographer to use tax payer money property (public property just to be turned away) don't use this facility.And that wedding party was drinking alcohol and smoking in the parking lot in front a lot of teenagers celebrating homecoming. In a smoke free facility.
We went in mid-January so a lot of the trails and Canopy Tours were closed down. Still really cool, free thing to do. Learn a lot about Georgia agricultural history and they had a Coney Island Circa 1940 attraction which was cool. We will be back in the spring
Fantastic variety of walking trails, bit of elevation change should you choose it, and a LOT of squirrels. Just remember to pay attention to the maps and where you've parked, as these trails go pretty deep in different directions.
For new residents and visitors: I would not recommend starting later into the evening, as it may get dark before you make your way back. The park goes by a water treatment facility, under a major highway and interstate, and by a LOT of apartment communities.
Will add reviews later if go to other parts of the facility.
Beautiful, secluded place that's so close to the mall of Georgia, i-85, i-985. Great variety of trails; paved trails for hiding/cycling and plenty of dirt trails for trail running
Awesome network of hiking trails that intercept with the ivy Creek Greenway trail
Cool place with beautiful views and awesome architecture. Wonderful walking paths with access to the ivy creek greenway. Kids loved it and there's a high ropes course nearby but it isn't cheap. Walk the paths and get off electronics. You'll be happier for it.
Attended a wedding reception here. The grounds were gorgeous. The banquet room has windows overlooking the property. We are planning another family event there for the future.
The center itself is definitely worth visiting, but the land surrounding the building is great. Lots of paved and unpaved walking trails.
If you want to get adventures n go past the center. Now that's when it becomes a real work out!
