Reviews
This is a really cool place to spend a couple hours at, with a great choice of trails and things to look at. Great for kids, too!
Five Stars all the way!!! there’s so many wonderful things I can say about Sterling Heights nature Center. My son is the one who actually told me about this wonderful little secret, Tucktaway in Sterling Heights. We took a walk down the nature trails and seen amazing wildlife not to mention the beautiful Clinton River. Inside the nature center there is a plethora of different animals and even a giant fish tank with a variety of local fish we have in our lakes not to mention the little scavenger hunt they have and the amazing options they have to celebrate your birthday here be sure not to miss us. If you’re ever in the area this little secret gem is something that you do not want to miss out on.
Bike trail. And off road trails. Definitely will be back. Grab bug spray for the Trails that off the main bike trail. Cool nature center. The lady was very helpful and went above and beyond. Also summer hours is 10 not 1 for opening. Pet friendly has clean restrooms. In the nature center
The Nature Center is great for smaller preschool birthday parties. The staff was excellent, the price was just right, the venue is a great size for 2-3 hours, and the lower level of activity/stimulation with facilitated activities was just what I wanted for my 4 year old and her friends. Thank you to the Sterling Heights team.
Really cool place to learn about the nature around you!
