River Legacy Nature Center

Been here a few times, first when it was being built, then developed, and now it seems to be a genuinely fine science center full of fun and interactive items suitable for small groups of maybe 10-15 kids, possibly upwards of 25 (in the paid exploration part). The price is absolutely affordable. And the experience is worth it, if only to show the kiddos some of the local wildlife, including some venomous snakes as a cautionary tale. And again, absolutely worth the very affordable price! I sure wish their summer and school year programs didn't fill up so quickly!

So I have not personally experienced this center YET....but our car broke down this was the closest building and we asked if we could come inside to stay cool and the receptionist was AMAZING. She was so sweet and helpful showing my kids around. My toddlers warmed up to her IMMEDIATELY. I will definitely be going to the events when I'm off and looking into putting my son into this center. She deserves a raise. Plus the place was beautiful from the little we got to see. We could have broke down anywhere so I'm so thankful it was here.. THANK YOU.

I recently visited River Legacy Science Center, and I can confidently say that it is a haven for both kids and adults who appreciate the great outdoors. This place truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. First and foremost, the center's fall festivals are an absolute blast! The events are thoughtfully planned and engaging, offering a wide range of activities that cater to all age groups. From interactive exhibits to hands-on experiments, there is something for everyone to enjoy and learn from. The staff members are knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience even more enriching. One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the nature trails. These trails are a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The trails are well maintained, offering a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors. Walking along these paths, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the beauty of the surrounding flora and fauna. The serene atmosphere and the variety of wildlife sightings made it an unforgettable experience. What sets River Legacy Science Center apart is its dedication to education and conservation. The center provides valuable educational resources and programs that promote environmental awareness and appreciation. It's not just about having fun; it's about learning and understanding our natural world. This commitment to education truly shines through in all aspects of the center's offerings. Whether you're a parent looking to engage your kids in hands-on learning or an adult seeking a rejuvenating outdoor experience, River Legacy Science Center is the perfect destination. The combination of exciting festivals, well-kept nature trails, and a strong emphasis on education make it a standout attraction. I highly recommend visiting this remarkable place and experiencing the wonders of nature firsthand.

This place is amazing! There's a ton of land, multiple entrances, and so many walking/biking trails with lanes. I love the fact there's multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, and even an upper body workout station. Perhaps best part is the science center, which is quite hidden and blends in with the environment. It's beautiful and has a lot of info for all ages. They host events throughout the year and post info about wildlife. Even, concrete paths and lots of grass so everyone can effort differently!

Visited for a day from out of town with my 3 and 5 year old and we had a grand old time. The volunteers were welcoming and helpful. There was a clean, tidy indoor space with the option to pay a nominal fee for a "discovery room" for the kiddos. The free space still had toys and some exhibits to enjoy. Trails and playgrounds also dot the park and we were happy to take advantage of them. For the locals, the summer camps seemed lively and enjoyable from my observation
