The Environmental Nature Center in New Port is an absolute five-star gem! My wife, daughter, and I had the most incredible time exploring this hidden treasure. The serene natural surroundings and well-maintained trails provided the perfect setting for a leisurely family adventure. The educational exhibits were both engaging and informative, making it an ideal place for kids and adults alike. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing our experience. We left feeling more connected to nature and with hearts full of gratitude for this fantastic resource in our community. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates the beauty of...

Been here a few times with my daughters on field trips being one of the adult chaperones. It doesn’t feel like your in the city especially when you start walking through the trees. They brought out a toad a time we went and the kids had a blast. There is a building where you can cool off with A/C and bathrooms. They have fish and jellyfish, not sure if that area is open for everyone. Every time I’ve gone I’ve had a great time. There are also areas where you can sit and picnic in...

This is a fabulous hidden gem for all ages! The trails are well preserved and feature native flora and fauna from ferns to worms and everything in between. A large flock of hawks can be spotted throughout the day as well as squirrels, rabbits, and insects galore! I highly recommend the various plant sales that differ depending on the season. If you have little ones in need of a hands-on experience engaging with nature, check out the camp opportunities, starting as...

@ocfeed for things to do in OC! 1601 E 16th St, Newport Beach CA 92663 @environmentalnaturecenter is an educational center for the community, and it’s surprisingly awesome. I’ve lived in Orange County my entire life and somehow never made it over to the Nature Center - I didn’t realize it was gonna be this awesome. In 1972, Newport Harbor High School made a swimming pool, and dumped the dirt they excavated near a gully. Volunteers decided to turn that soil into a nature center. Slowly, they planted sycamores, oaks, and other native plants. With that came insects, spiders, lizard, snakes, and birds - the local Audobon Chapter has identified over 130 species of birds there. They have a butterfly garden, and you can download a scavenger hunt on their website to help you identify the species. They also encourage you to plant native plants in your own backyard to help butterflies survive. They have many different programs, summer camps, winter camps, and school field trips. There’s a preschool, volunteer opportunities, and memberships. You can also have a birthday party there or even get married there. There’s internship opportunities - the list goes on. They do an event called savor OC where you can go in and taste local restaurants bites to eat. It’s incredibly peaceful. When I went, there was almost no one there and I could just stand there and listen to the sound of the stream.
