The Outdoor Discovery Center is an absolute gem for families and nature enthusiasts alike! With its diverse trails, captivating exhibits, and engaging activities, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
One of our favorite spots was the Eldean Family Nature Playpark, a wonderland for kids of all ages. My little ones couldn't get enough of the interactive features, from climbing structures to musical instruments made from natural materials. It was a joy to watch them explore and unleash their creativity in such a beautiful setting.
Don't miss the art trail, a delightful walk filled with inspiring artwork and nature-themed crafts.
Following the art trail, we ventured onto the trail leading to the Birds of Prey exhibit. It was incredible to see these majestic creatures up close and learn about their unique adaptations. The informative displays and knowledgeable staff made the experience truly educational and memorable.
The Outdoor Discovery Center offers a vast network of trails, each with its own distinct charm. We loved exploring the different paths, surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature.
Overall, our visit to the Outdoor Discovery Center was an unforgettable experience. It's a place where families can connect with nature, learn about the environment, and create lasting memories. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a fun and educational outdoor adventure.

What an amazing place! We had zero expectations of the ODC and ended up having such a great time. The playground area is phenomenal and not like a typical playground. So much for kids to do. We hiked to the bird building and were able to see beautiful birds that were injured and rescued. This place was completely free! They do accept donations, but there is zero fee to look in the center, hike, and play. We had the best time!

So much to explore! As a family of young kids, this was a lot of fun. There are birds of prey with educational signs that inform adults and kids alike. The trails are well maintained and natural. Lots of hiking areas that go through wetlands, woods, and meadow prairies. The playground is really unique and spread out. There are areas for older children as well as younger toddlers so no one feels left out.
