I went there one day to reflect on life because one of my horses suddenly passed away. I was flabbergasted when i saw a couple of staff members hitting squirrels with pickle ball rackets while encouraging visitors to join in. When i approached them and suggested they stop, the local police were called to escort me off of the property. Luckily the law was on my side and told me that they get complaints about the center constantly. Apparently prostitution is a big thing there as well, according to local law enforcement. I decided to just leave when i noticed that someone had keyed the hood of my car with racial hate, i guess because my spouse and I are a mixed couple. Shame on you, Shavers Creek...

This place is amazing! The facilities are super clean and state-of-the-art. The raptors on display are fabulous and give children a close-up view of these large, captivating birds rarely seen so close. The staff is helpful and friendly.

Beyond the central facilities, this park offers miles of engaging hiking trails if all levels of difficulty and length. We've been here twice with our family of six young kids and will definitely...

A great local place to visit! The center is designed to give a hands-on approach to teaching the principles of environmental stewardship. A great place to bring kids. The programs that the center has are always fun and creative. Their annual maple syrup festival is a big draw and is worth checking out. Be sure to check out the eagles, hawks, and falcons...

It is always a good day at Shaver's Creek. One of my favorite places since visiting as a young child. The recent and on going upgrades have been thoughtfully consider and executed beautifully. I highly recommend coming out and experiencing all the environmental center and the surrounding forest has to offer. The biggest downside here is the limited parking.

Love taking the kiddos here! Great place to get outdoors and learn about nature, animals and the environment. The remodel to the center makes it even better! The animals are close enough to interact with and you can watch the birds get fed at certain times too which is really neat! And they have special activities at certain times/days too!
