Ansonia Nature & Recreation Center

My 3 year old son loved the place area and the displays.

What a gem! This place has so much to offer. As a novice hiker w my dog, I enjoyed the Fall Equinox hike. The ranger was very welcoming, informative & engaging. The trails were well marked and offered variety of sights to see along the way. Can’t wait to come back & take the next trail! Thank you for the enjoyable hike.

My kids love this place they have indoor wildlife exhibits like queen bees, spiders, and Guinea pig! There is big playground outside! It's such a shady with big trees playground! And there's trail to walk and pond to fish!!

We truly enjoyed our visit, they have a great park for both small kids and big. We walked to the pond which was so beautiful and had little turtles. Plenty of parking spots, and overall a great place to go with the kids.

A lovely place for a walk around a pond. The architecture of the nature center itself is interesting. It's somewhat shaped like a star. Each leg/branch is a tiny museum upon itself. One is dedicated to creatures of the night like owls, another is about native housing, one for small creatures like lizards and tarantulas, and a final one has a turtle, rabbit, and hamster. The playground is great with a beautiful xylophone which even the non-musical can play sweet songs on.
