Rock Creek Park

Great nature center. Lots of exhibits with information on local flora and fauna. The planetarium show was also good. Learned about the current night sky, how to spot certain constellations and heard fascination stories from multiple cultures. Make sure to get a free ticket before getting in line. Nice smaller gift shop and a kids area for littles. Most importantly, many hiking trails all around.

We love Rock Creek park! Whether on a quiet trail, spotting owls, deer, or raccoons, sit and reflect by one of the many small enclaves by the rushing water, drop by the zoo or nature center, or jog/walk along a more bustling part of the path. The park is one of our favorite places to take the family or get in some alone time.

This places has wonderful trails in the city! I was so impressed with the location and the rangers. It was a great stop after the zoo to pick up another jr Ranger badge for our son. The nature center had lots of great information about the area.
