Review from Nathan M.
Los Angeles, CA
If you like nature, this is pretty cool. They have a live farm you can walk around with animals as well as miles of paths. This is good for any wildlife lover and I suspect is very good for kids.
Admission is $4.00 for adults, but I'm not sure they enforce it. -

I was asked to speak here a few weekends ago and found the place to be very endearing.
The Center is located in Dayton near Englewood and smack in the middle of a huge forest with an adjacent praire.
Before entering the center's grounds, I drove a huge suspension bridge and got a look at the intact riparian forest.
It was beautiful.
I was a speaker for the winter lecture series that runs from Jan-Mar on Sundays and there were about 75 people in attendence, mostly birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
The center looks like an old farm house which it originally was before its remodeling a few years ago. Inside you will find exhibits about the habitat and animals of the grounds, a nature store, three classrooms, and a large conference room.
It is a little hokey but the sentiment grows on you as you walk through the space.
I had a little time to walk the trails and even though it was cold did a little creeking in search of early salamanders. No luck.
I took the trail to the organic farm and saw a few cows but not much else was going on this time of year.
Admission is just a few bucks and worth it. The center staff is very kinowledgeable and offers classes in nature study and trips to places like the Everglades and other national parks.
Tomorrow is the annual pancake breakfast which also features a hike out to tap some maples.
Good clean fun.
