The TNC is a good size natural park excellent to take your family with children to introducing to nature and hiking. Is has a small,parking area. There is a indoor facility to the left of the parking lot that has some rectiles and other small animals for viewing and may be available for children's party there are also,some benches along the path and a small lake, down from the house there are a couple,of cages with large birds (1 or 2) that may be there for rehab . as with any wooded area I take precautions against ticks before and after .
Just 15 minutes from the George Washington Bridge, the nature center has a number of walks that are perfect for kids.In addition to the trails there are restrooms and a picnic area. The only reason I did not give the center a higher rating has to do with the nature center itself. The building is outdated, and needs major renovations.
Beautifully maintained trails and a very informative staff made my visit with two young children a success. There were lots of small frogs and she answered all of their many questions. They learned a lot in a beautiful atmosphere. I will return again by myself and enjoy the tranquility.
I live close by to the Nature Center. It has several walking trails through wooded areas. Some might call them hiking trails but they do not require strenuous exertion. The paths are dirt but they are nicely maintained and generally clear of debris, so they are easy to follow. You can walk around a nice large pond, where various wildlife types can be observed, mainly ducks, birds, and frogs. The longest trail takes about 2 hours to complete round-trip. Maybe 30 minutes for the shorter trails. Good exercise! Lot of deer and wild turkeys around, although the deer camouflage themselves very well. During summer, the insects are a bit oppressive, so repellant is a must.
Went there with a child. Walked around and on a trail.
I have been going here for years. The trails are easy, but interesting. There are great nature programs for children there.
ピクニックをしに秋に訪問しました。紅葉も綺麗で歩きやすい道があるので、トレイル初心者でも楽しめる場所です。小さい鳥やリスなど小動物がいる森ですので、双眼鏡を持って訪れてみてください。自動販売機や売店はないのでしっかり準備してからいくといいでしょう。
The sounds of birds and roses when in bloom are a reason to enjoy this hidden gem. Once you pull into the lot and walk a bit you will feel transported on a mini vacation. The fall is just as lovely. Beautiful!!!!!!Sometimes there is a wedding so you may have to wait a bit to take advantage of the complete rose area.
I went there on a file trip once and the experience was terrible. I was yelled at for touching a plant by our snooty up tight tour guide. Very rude staff. The toilet there was a hole in the ground, talk about unsanitary. I would recommend you don't waste your money on this place.
My husband and I took our 18 month old daughter here and we all enjoyed our short hike through the woods and near the pond. She loved it and took in everything - the sights and sounds... Not only did we have the chance to see the animals in their natural habitat on our walk but we spent time visiting the owl, hawks, snakes, turtles, frogs and more that live in cages outside and in the building. There are also activities in the building that she was able to play with and explore. I definitely recommend this best kept secret in Bergen County to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle.
