Best time to walk or even drive through Fullersburg is the fall. But generally a great place to go and get some fresh air. Kids always like jumping around on the leaves and walk through the Nature Center.
The Nature Center is a great place for a rainy day, or if the weather is nice you can go for a walk in the woods. The Nature Center has a few live animals like a snake and fish to look at and stuffed animals. There are great windows that overlook Salt Creek and you they have binoculars there to look at the wildlife. They have a big treehouse/nest that the kids can climb up in and a huge Mammoth skeleton. Fun place to check out.
A most beautiful place to take your kids for a walk in the woods. We went at maple syrup time, and got a great lesson on how it is made. Staff is very knowledgeable and relate well to kids.
