What a great place for all ages. Fun programs for kids of all ages about nature also for adults. Great store inside with nature books, all kinds of nature items and information about the metor parks. The park grounds are beautiful and also great trails. So much there you just need to go and see!
What a great place to visit, trails to hike and displays inside. Take a seat and watch the birds feed through a large glass window.
It was great seeing the historic place of the first meeting of Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob. Henrietta Seiberling was a wonderful woman.
This place is excellent...a little small, but mighty. Children will love this place because it's all hands-on! They also have special educational sessions that kids can sign up for...ALL FREE!!!! When the weather is nice, you can take a nice hike on a few trails right outside their doors. HIGHLY recommended for everyone!
My wife and I took our grandson here, who is only 2. He loved every minute he was here. Lots to see and do. We'll diffidently take him back again, I'm sure he'll enjoy this as he gets older. Lots of educational things to look at and learn. Staff is very helpful and the place is very clean. Don't be afraid to let your toddler roam around.
We have frequented the Nature Real for hiking, educational activities, and relaxation for over 3 years now. It is ALWAYS clean, well maintained, and bursting with activity both inside and around the park/trails. They offer numerous events every month, but sign up early, as space cancel quickly! This is certainly one of the best family/nature attractions in the greater-Akron area.
Yes, it's a long walk to the Visitor Center, but isn't that part of the point of going there...to walk or hike in nature? Still, with all the changes there, they might have thought better about that, hence, the 4 star rating. The Nature Realm (thank goodness they finally separated the words as it confused everyone and I was sick of pronouncing the word for them;-D ) has always been one of my favorite Metro Parks. The proximity to me notwithstanding, it's got several great hikes of varying lengths to suit my needs and desires of the moment. The amount of benches for those who wish to sit a spell and absorb nature is fantastic. The updated gardens are beautiful as well. It's one of our (Summit County) jewels and well worth the excursion.
The Nature Realm is a very peaceful and beautiful place to walk or go for a jog on the paths. At any given time you can view the animals in their natural habitat. I have seen deer, chipmunks, many birds, and fish here. The sights are breath taking at times. The fall foliage is amazing to look at. It is a great place to take the family for a stroll or just a picnic. This is a must see on a nice day!
Wonderful place to take the family, friends, small children, people of all abilities, can enjoy this park.. You can take a walk through the Herb Garden, and visit the pond there, talk a walk on any of the great trails, visit the lake, don't miss the visitors center. This is a wonderful, educational place for the family. They have many great programs for the family, even programs for the home schooling families. If you love nature, you will surely love this park! Best of all it's FREE!
A great interactive spot to learn about nature. Beautiful gardens and nature trails. There are small local concerts held there in the summer months.
