A beautiful local nature museum, hiking trails & education center! We came for a short hike over the holiday weekend and enjoyed ourselves! Many different hikes to choose from flat, moderate to hard. It's definitely a nice option when we're ready for a nice hike in our neighborhood!

Every Science teacher in Philadelphia should be taking advantage of this amazing local resource! Talk about the ultimate field trip! My fifth graders had an amazing, informative and super-engaging experience. Field trips are lead by a team of expert environmental educators who have created a curriculum that is incredibly thoughtful, fun and standards-aligned. There are programs for all ages, K-12. (Preschool too!) Available topics include sustainability, ecosystems, trees, soil and many more! Grant funding was available for my Title I school, making the trip completely free! The Center is also open to the public year-round! The folks at The Schuylkill Center are absolute pros! Each person has their own expertise and specialty; they were all so knowledgeable! Our bus was met by the staff at the Welcome Center. After bathroom and water breaks, they did a circle-up to go over expectations. We separated into small groups and cycled through four stations over the course of the morning, hiking from one station to another. After lunch at the pavilion, we hiked as a group to the Forest Free Play area, which is an awesome pine grove that is set up for tree climbing, fort building and general exploring. The kids had an absolute BLAST! It was so fun! Shoutout to Teachers Sam, Sky, Jason, Declan, Amelia and all of the hardworking folks who are so dedicated to preserving a true Philadelphia Treasure! Can't wait to come back! Restrooms: Available in Welcome Center Dog-friendliness: Because this is a nature preserve, doggos cannot visit :(
