Our first experience here was for a summer party, it was wonderful! We walked to the museum.shop area, walked a few trails, I cant wait to go back and spend an entire day at the Grove!
The Grove is nice, my brother got married here. I think besides walking around and enjoying nature a bit, it's a great place to take photos of the kids! Lots of great backgrounds with cabins, trees, leaves and ponds.
beautiful trails and a few animals inside too a nice outing for kids trails very fun also good for scout badge work the people that work there are very knowledgeable
A nice place for a little stroll. The best thing here is the nature center. It is awesome- the kids always spend a long time here looking at the animals and discovering another part of this rich naturalist collection. It's a perfect way to spend an hour+ on a drizzly day.
This place is very sweet, peaceful and a great way to incorporate nature into a playdate with your kids. The outdoor trails are great but there can tend to be a great deal of bugs so I would recommend bug spray. The indoor exhits are pretty cool and very educational. Admission is free which is a great bonus. There is a turtle exhibit that my kids find facinating. There is a turtle in the tank that is pretty close to a hundred years old (my kids got a big kick out of that). The fall is particulary serene and a great place for the kids to run through the leaves.
My husband and I are partial to The Grove as we got married there, but, the reptiles, insects, and wildlfe exhibit are such a hidden treasure. Our favorite is the giant turtle. Take your kids there as their curiosity is growing everyday--it's free too!!!
This is a hidden find. A fun place to spend a few hours. There are lots of trails to follow and water to see. There are a few houses to go into that have animlas to learn about. Be careful of the mosquitos.
This is a wonderful place. The nature center is great - lots of things to see & a great turtle pond. And there are several trails outside, so you can take a short stroll. We always enjoy the special weekend events.
This is a great place to visit and enjoy the animal life and the outdoors. The Grove is easy to get to. It is also nice to go there when there are special events. It's free too!
This is a great place to bring your children for a nice, free outing. The interpretive center has many different kinds of fish, turtles, reptiles, insects, etc. on display. There are nice walking trails including a boardwalk alongside a pond, where we saw a duck family the last time we visited. My daughters like to play at the "wishing well" outside of the log cabin.
