Great place to take kids. Lots of hands on activities for kids, beautiful nature, variety of different areas in the center. I’ve never seen so much green in Newport Beach lol. A great place for a field trip as well. Would happily come again.

Great place to take your toddler for a nature walk. There is a creek and winding walking trails that loop around so you can’t really get lost. But only open to the public on weekends.

Always a great family fun day at the annual pumpkin patch party.
