Serenity is a good word... It is a preserve, so it is kept really well and you can see nature at its best. There are a few areas - the Indian village which was closed(blame Covid), the bird watching area - one can find some pretty cool photo ops here, the board walk, the trails, the garden, which is phenomenal and the plant sale! I love this place for an afternoon stroll, enjoy the beautiful lake views and take in nature as best as you can! Highly recommend!

It's a good walk. Nice flower gardens, bird blind and feeders. Large natural with trails and a butterfly house.

Great trails and alot of nature to be seen. We saw a bluejay, woodpecker and 3 small snakes just to name a few. Plenty of parking, first time going inside the nature center and was plenty to see and do. Would highly recommend. My 3 year old loved it.

Great place to spend a day with a kid. We were there about 6 hours and had a blast. Lots to see and do and the open "backyard" area in the back was a great place for mine to burn more energy while I relaxed on the sides. When we went they had the gorgeous butterflies in the rainforest area as well as the dinosaurs exhibit. Didn't get to visit the planetarium maybe next time.

Are you allowed to fish at the Churchville Reservoir if I’m not why and I’ve heard stories because there’s a huge bass in there

Gavin Harris | Aug 13, 2020

The Nature Center is a facility of Bucks County Parks and Recreation, not Aqua. Aqua Pennsylvania owns the reservoir and most of the surrounding property. We are a nature preserve and do not allow hunting and fishing. Aqua does not allow any recreation, such as boating or fishing on their property.

They may put it in their teaching display. They have a nice reptile room. They wouldn't release it into the preserve.
