We brought our two kids here and they had the best time crawling all over everything and exploring the structures and playing in the sand. It was a really great way to spend a warm February afternoon in Colorado! So much for the kids to explore inside and comfy couches for the adults!

Hands down one of the best experiences I have had while hiking trails and birding. I am a flight attendant and when on layovers; I visit parks, nature centers, etc…the staff at Morrison Nature Center made my experience that much better. They were insightful, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and generous. I plan to go back every chance I get. So if you’re staying (visiting) near the Denver airport and are looking for something fun and cool to do, I highly recommend going to the Morrison Nature Center. Great for hiking, walks, birding, biking and just being in nature.

We've loved this nature center, but the new outdoor nature play area is simply unparalleled. It's HUGE and kids can play in it for hours. Dinosaur rocks, stick bridges, a beaver dam fort, multiple sand areas

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff are the best — huge shoutout to Kristin, Emma, David, and Fendi, who make every experience so fun and welcoming. My kids have been going to camp here since they were 5, and they love it. The programs are engaging, the environment is beautiful, and the staff truly care about the kids. It’s been such a positive, memorable part of their childhood. We’re so grateful to have this nature center in our community!
