What parents say
It is only $3.00 per adult to enter. The experience is definitely under priced as you can clearly see how well taken care of the place truly is. The staff are EXTREMELY friendly and caring. The paths are well kept. The animals were very happy! The gift shop is also extremely affordable and fairly priced!
Beautiful place to spend time with your family in the outdoors. There is an awesome playground in the forest that my kids really enjoyed! Also a creative obstacle course for older kids! Nice trails and breathtaking hikes on the boardwalk that connect you with nature. Awesome sky bridge with nice views.
Fabulous fantastic and amazing are not even fair adjectives to describe this fantastic place. For adults it cost three dollars to get in and five dollars to go to the butterfly exhibit which was well worth it The indoor exhibits of the turtles, and owl our great indoor activity, and looking out the window at the birds…
I can’t say enough good things about Sarett Nature Center! I went on one of their guided mushroom walks and it was absolutely incredible — educational, hands-on, and just plain fun. We found all kinds of fascinating mushrooms and learned so much about the forest ecosystem.
