 “Nature has been for me, as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.” — Lorraine Anderson

Leslie Science & Nature Center is located on a public park, and all outdoor public areas (including the raptor enclosure loop and Nature Playscape) are free and open every day of the year. The Critter House is open Sundays from 12–3 p.m., excepting holidays. Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming on-site programs and events.
