tripadvisorWe have been visiting for years, hiking when our kids were little and still enjoying it. The trailsAre well maintained (although still recovering from recent storms) and well marked. It is hard to believe that such a serene place is only about 25 miles from Times Square. Come for an hour or a day. You will have a peaceful time in beautiful woods.
MoreJust a random selection to visit here. Very pretty! Admission is usually $6 but today we were not charged, they have an event tonight that everyone seems quite focused on. The inside has a lovely photography gallery and on the opposite wing there's a children's center. They have a digital microscope hooked up to a flat screen that I could have played with all afternoon. I needed to move on because I guess other kids were waiting. The trails in the back are well manicured and a fun zig-zag down the hill. This is a nice place to spend a couple hours outside.
MoreVery cool trails throughout the Center, in particular the glacial rock debris in the northern section. Lots of birds and wildlife and great canopy above. Really good in the off season.
MoreHenny Bogan Does The Audubon Center in Greenwich New trails through olde woods are always intriguing, but when the starting point is a mansion right out of the fabled House of the Seven Gables, you gotta be awestruck. And just getting to the trail is great fun, passing through hilly treed country and the abundance of toney residences. My small band of trail blazers was fascinated by the cutaway bee hive at the center, along with several other nature displays. Out on the trail, be warned that the path is downhill and what goes down, must come up. The trail is pleasantly winding with the nearby pond and its contingent of bull-frogs during mating season growling at each other. And what would a nature trail be without a boardwalk over wetlands, complete with masses of ferns and lettuce leaves. The trail’s halfway point is the Mead Lake Dam, restraining the onrushing waters of the long lake. It’s a decent enough hike roughly equivalent to a hilly 9 holes and makes for a shady walk on a steamy day.
MoreWonderful trails in a 300 acreage Sanctuary! For bird watcher and nature loving a MUST!! Friendly Staff, Beautiful area & time spent!!!
