We stopped here because a Barnacle Goose had been reported. Didn't find the goose, but found a great feeder set-up (a flock of a dozen Common Redpolls came in as we watched).The visitor center is very well done. It includes a well-stocked nature items store, natural history displays, some live animals, and excellent education facilities. The volunteer and professional staff we met were cordial and informed.Our first visit was so pleasant we returned a second day to watch the feeders and lake from the warmth of the visitor center. We'd like to join one of the naturalist-led hikes (but on a warmer day!).This is one of those very special places, not highly visible to the casual traveler. It merits a visit by all interested in an outdoor, natural setting experience. Plan at least 2 hours to enjoy it.

It's a nice location to enjoy nature, an easy hike, relax by the lake, bird watch and take in nature.

The Plainsboro Preserve is a place to visit to hike and view the birds. It's close by where we live, ticked into the area, so easy to visit.

Love this place! I've been here many times in the spring and fall. Nice trails and nature center. It's the place to go to bird watch. The center has clean restrooms and a great selection of books for sale. They also sell bird feeders, jewelry.....but they want to be paid with the exact change (odd). I think they take credit cards. The center has a deck attached to it, with amphitheater style steps. Great place for kids, but check them for ticks.

An old gravel pit at the center with some trails nearby the preserves as it name implies is relatively untouched. Not much to see though and make sure you cover yourself in insect repellant.

Liked finding another local spot that is untouched and has great paths. Disliked that no dogs are allowed, but it is because it is part of Audubon and there are birds there.

This is a nice place to take a walk with family. Even young children can handle the short trails and enjoy a walk in the woods. Birds are plentiful, though we did not see any other animals. We stopped in the nature center before walking to get maps, and the staffers there were friendly and helpful. Be aware that right now - the very end of winter - there are many branches and sticks on the paths, along with large muddy spots and a thick covering of leaves in some places; we had a few minor slips. Sturdy shoes and a watchful eye are called for.

Visiting Philly for a ball game and spent a night near Princeton. Such a nice afternoon that I looked on trip advisor for a place to walk. Arrived about 4:45pm, right before nature center closed at 5:00pm. Folks could not have been nicer! Advised us to talk Maggie's trail for a In and back two mile walk. Lovely! Thank you!!

Plainsboro Preserve is a wonderful jungle experience in the midst of civilization. You take a small turn inside and enter a completely different world. The preserve is extremely well-maintained and informative boards have been placed at regular intervals informing the visitors about the flora and fauna present. There is also a small lake which runs along the course of the preserve. There are different trails depending on the time you wish to hike through. Lovely American beech trees welcomed us on the yellow trail with the sun peeping through them.There are also lovely little benches where one can sit if one is tired or just to experience the serene atmosphere. The preserve is so silent that you can hear several birds. We spotted a rabbit and various types of birds which we couldn't identify :( The visitor centre was closed so I hope to visit the preserve again.
