This place is wonderful for kids. We celebrated a birthday party here, and the experience was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they never rushed any of the activities. Even when the presentation went beyond the scheduled time, the naturalist patiently continued, explaining the animals in detail and thoughtfully answering all of the children’s questions. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Thank you for such excellent service and a memorable experience.

Five Stars all the way!!! there’s so many wonderful things I can say about Sterling Heights nature Center. My son is the one who actually told me about this wonderful little secret, Tucktaway in Sterling Heights. We took a walk down the nature trails and seen amazing wildlife not to mention the beautiful Clinton River. Inside the nature center there is a plethora of different animals and even a giant fish tank with a variety of local fish we have in our lakes not to mention the little scavenger hunt they have and the amazing options they have to celebrate your birthday here be sure not to miss us. If you’re ever in the area this little secret gem is something that you do not want to miss out on.

This is a really cool place to spend a couple hours at, with a great choice of trails and things to look at. Great for kids, too!
