Visited this morning with our kids (8 & 5). The trails are very nice and it was a great relaxing little hike with the kids. The map is informative for the different trail portions with distances listed. The trail is well marked also. The main building is very nicely set up and has a play area for kids in the lower level. This is a great day trip for the family. Make sure to bring bug spray though. I got a couple of mosquito bites on our hike. They have a small gift shop with drinks and limited snacks. Pack your own picnic lunch and enjoy your day.

Fontenelle Forest is a great place to go just to take a walk. The Grand Children enjoy the play area and walking along looking for animals and bugs. They have a raptor exhibit. You can also walk down to the banks of the Missouri, but you have to cross some tracks and I don't recommend letting small children get too close to the river. They also have an indoor children's play area and some nature exhibits. We buy an annual membership since we go there quite often.

Fontenelle Forest is a great place to go and enjoy a relaxing walk either in their Boardwalk or on one of their trails. They have a fun kids area off the boardwalk with a tree house, xylophone, and areas for kids to explore nature. The forest puts on fun activities for kids like mud pies, and when the dinosaurs come to the forest. They also have an indoor area that has an animal dress up, puppet show, and an arts and craft activity with other exhibits learning about forest animals.

This was a members only children's event that you had to register for set from 3-5 pm. Unfortunately it was too bitter cold for a nature hike, but we walked around the indoor center and looked at the exhibits. The staff were wonderful. One lady dressed as Mother Nature. The boys ages 5, 9, & 14 had fun stomping on the bubble wrap, and playing the checkers games they had out while eating Turkey Tracks in the Snow (graham crackers with frosting and pretzels in the shape of Turkey Track) and drinking hot cocoa. The boys enjoyed the story she read about Owls, and we all sang a song. The staff also had several stations set up to make crafts for noisemakers, I-spy bottles, and another craft. The table was super-cute with little trinkets for the kids. The boys had a lot of fun.

We have been visiting Fontenelle for years, every year most of the schools in the area take the children here at least once during school year. Such a beautiful , tranquil place. When family comes to town we usually visit here with them, and they get to see a bit of the forest in our surrounding area. The staff is always nice, and informative, it really is a oasis to get back to nature. Take the kids, connect with nature, and let the stress melt away as you take one of the trails through the forest.

Great place to explore and think. It's amazing to gave this forest in the city. Lots of wildlife and family friendly. Check their website for special kids exhibits. I've also used this place for business retreats and community meetings.

An excellent trip back to the past with ancient Indian sites and even the home of a hermit. Beautifully maintained with boardwalks and nature trails.

A nature center with a large wildlife area. One of the things that most impressed me were the hiking trails. They even have one that is almost 2 miles long that is all board walk and elevated from the forest floor with some great views of the river. Great for wheelchairs. Some wheelchair occupants may need some help on some areas of the board walk as there is some grades. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. If you want to get out into nature with easy walking this is for you. Parking is limited though and there is an entrance fee.

Fontenelle Forest has something for everyone. For the more adventurous, there are established hiking trails through the forest that go as far as down to the Missouri River. If you prefer something a little tamer, you can take a walk on the boardwalk that extends as far as 1-mile (round trip) and offers terrific views of the forest, the Missouri River, and Omaha and Council Bluffs. If you prefer a shorter walk, there are two points where you can turn around before returning to the indoor center. Also, for the physically challenged, small motorized vehicles are available for use on the boardwalk. Whenever our grandkids visit, we make a stop at Acorn Acres, a play area for kids up to about age 10. The center also offers several interesting indoor exhibits. There's so much available that you'll probably want to return a second or third time to see it all.
