We needed a place to kill some time before we went to the Louisville Slugger Museum. This was a nice place to go for a short hike and eat lunch at. It did seem kind of run-down to me. The trails were fairly well worn although overrun in some places. The longer Trail was closed which was unfortunate. There is a nice little kids area that was well-used. There is a nice little Pond and sitting area if you want to have a picnic lunch there. Unfortunately the little Nature Preserve was closed. There was also a bird watching area that we were unable to get into. We saw one turtle & a few birds but nothing too exciting.

Louisville Nature Center is a hidden treasure, tucked away off Trevilian Way across from the Louisville Zoo. It offers a gathering room for event rentals (that can also have guided trail tours!) And a 1.5 mile loop deep into a beautiful wooded hillside. With plenty of wildlife to share the trail with. The bird blind features several large windows where you can watch the birds hopping to the different bird feeders, along with identifying each one with the help of a birdwatching guide book. It's a perfect place to stop by right after work and take in a beautiful walk and connect with nature.

What a hidden gem. I am embarrassed to say I have lived near the center my entire life and never stopped in until today. I walked nearly an hour through an oasis of nature in a city setting. For the bulk of the trails I heard nothing but birds and nature. I saw a deer cross the path about 20 feet from me. There are two trails and they are a good workout without being difficult. There are educational opportunities and a beautiful sensory garden in the front of the center. Do yourself a favor and visit. Admission is free but donations are greatly appreciated.

Such a beautiful place with quite a large number of different species of wild animals as well as the wild birds of Kentucky. As you enter the Louisville Nature Center building look at the interesting collection on display. You can venture out back to the trails leading to an indoor bird watching building for a close up look at your favorite birds as well as birds you may have never had the pleasure of seeing before! They have many bird feeders attracting a nice variety of all our extremely special local birds, fenches, hawks,owls......The trails continue on. Enjoying the scenery and peaceful feeling of Nature all around you is refreshing. Don't be surprised when a deer, fox, Turkey....walks past. JUST have the camera ready! It's a great experience, I have returned several times...

My 3 year old is now in love with this center! Parents this is a great place to take our kids to get dirty and learn! The staff of volunteers are all very passionate and you can see their genuine love for nature which makes the trails and nature experience for both adults and children more enjoyable. PS. I tried the trails at first with a stroller for my 1 year old and had to go put the stroller back in the car. They have a bird viewer area sooo cool for little people, and the turtle area is super cool my kid loved learning that the turtle was sleeping for winter in the ground and he didn't even get to see it. But they actually took him out to explain it all to him. Wonderful place...

We didn't even know this place existed, but thinks to the culture pass we got for my son we found it and LOVED IT. There is an awesome trail for nature exploration right in the heart of Louisville. There are multiple legs of the trail for .5 miles, 1.0 miles and 1.5 miles. It was great and my 6yr old wanted to take the long way. There is also a natural outdoor playground so that the kids can play in sandboxes, rock boxes, climbing areas, etc Inside was a "library" with TONS of things for the kids to touch, hold, look at, etc. Animal parts, live bugs and turtles to observe and friendly staff to educate. My son was in awe. We will...
