It’s a beautiful and educational for your whole entire family and friends a day of fun at Boston nature center it’s amazing learn so much if you’re lucky you may see an abundance of wild animals not to worry harmless to people just stay out their way you could find turkeys rabbits opossum rodents of all kinds and bring some binoculars if your bird lover more fun in the trees and in the sky if you’re bird lover will see abundance of migrating birds that come up to the northeast for meetings in the summer and then they leave In the winter to head back to the Caribbean‘s in the Virgin Islands welcome to rush as their home and then they repeat their life cycle over and over again nice Cause lear Trailways there’s a learning Museum when you get there and Park Rangers to assist you on your way through the nature Center trails I hope this Was helpful for anyone who has not come to this beautiful oasis in the Boston,Massachusetts

Nice place to walk, but I've been to more interesting places in local area. Kooks like they run an amazing, vibrant summer camping program for kids.

I checked the website before hand, and it didn’t say anything about pets not being allowed. Driving in, there is a sign that says no pets. Disappointed. Edit: so they're right, it does say. Oops. 1 star to 3.

An oasis in the city. Great programming for kids, adults, and families. We took a 7am bird walk with knowledgeable guides. Saw some great birds in a variety of habitats. One of the best places in Boston.

Can you camp here ?

Erika Moon | Aug 24, 2020
Greta Heissenberger | Aug 24, 2020

I don't think so. There are no designated camping areas. Just a small loop of trail and some gardens.

Are any of the houses on the property for rent or purchase, and who would I need to contact

No. They are preschool classrooms or belong to someone.

Where do we call about an injured bird? We called animal control before for an injured baby animal. Not happy with results.
