We had an AMAZING time (grown ups and kids alike) at the Piedmont Wildlife Center. Our group of 3 families did a field trip where we got to spend time meeting and learning about all different animals (box turtle, corn snake, rabbit and opossum). The team at Piedmont were incredibly informative and engaging. They let the kids ask a million questions and shared lots of interesting facts. We then got to do a nature exploration hike in the woods where kids looked for bugs, moths, butterflies, and other insects. They loved it. A perfect day of learning and engagement. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have been at Piedmont for over 10 years now. I started off as a camper and am now a contracted educator. Some of the best memories I have growing up were made at PWC. Very knowledgeable staff, and all of the animals are well cared for. Leigh Farm Park is also a great place to walk around and enjoy nature. Highly recommend scheduling a program from here or just stopping by for a visit!

They have owls and a hawk in separate enclosures that you can view them in. They also have very nice trails to walk on through the woods.

Educational and fun! Very knowledgeable staff.

Great Photo Ops and staff was very knowledgeable.

We had our six year olds birthday party here. It was wonderful! They did a scavenger hunt for half an hour, then went inside the cabin and we got to meet several animal ambassadors. The kids learned about the rescue animals and answered the instructors questions, and had time to ask their own. Everyone had fun and learned something too!

We had a great birthday party here! Kids ranged in age from 3-12, and everyone had a great time! Everyone loved seeing and learning about the Raptors, and Olive the opossum was feisty fun! Lots of things to check out in the cabin as well. Instructors were kind and knowledgeable. Thank you!

My child celebrated his birthday in Piedmont Wildlife center and it was awesome! We saw many animals and learned a lot! His friends was very engaged with the activity as well. Highly recommended!

The 3rd-5th graders at our STEM and Arts summer camp absolutely LOVED Piedmont Wildlife Center! Their presentation was fun and engaging, and the campers really enjoyed being able to directly interact with the animals. Highly recommend!

Amazing birthday party! Instructors were extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the center (like when the cabin was built). Rustic charm and woodsy environment. Received multiple comments from parents about how impressed they were with the quality of the party. Educational all the while keeping 18 1st graders engaged in the presentation. Would definitely recommend this party venue.

Excellent! Noelle presented to 3 classes at our Montessori Childrens House and connected immediately with the children. She gave wonderful information about each animal and time for each child to touch the animals. The children were curious and enthralled during the entire presentation.

Wonderful place in the middle of Durham

Been going here for years, and may have given five stars previously, but theyve changed their ways considerably—risk reduction Id guess you say. The activities have gotten tamer, liberties for the kids to play have been restricted and its simply getting more polished, which isnt what we look for in outdoor camps like this. Lawyers limiting exposure and/or or catering to people that really dont know what the woods are all about. Makes me think of the folks that go to a campground and equip their site like their backyard. This past week will most likely be the last.

My son just finished a week of summer camp at the new Blackwood Farm Park in Chapel Hill. He loved every day and I was so impressed with the leaders and the program! We also love the other programs that Piedmont offers - we have done birthday programs and both adult and toddler classes. Its a great organization!

We just celebrated my daughters 6th birthday at the Piedmont Wildlife Center....was so wonderful! The raptor were amazing and Matt gave an outstanding presentation!!!

This is a great organization, classes are top notch, staff is behind the vision of connecting people of all ages to nature.

Took our scouts there and they did a fantastic presentation and now our troop wants to go back and volunteer there. even though it was raining when we went the caretaker made it enough fun for 12 seven yearolds to sit still for an hour!

Off the beaten paths disc golf. Needs a bit of refurbishing and better markings for the rec course but other than interstate noise part of the way, very quiet.

A hidden treasure in Durham Lovely wooded walks and quiet beauty.

Went to the Bioblitz event here! Very friendly helpful staff and volunteers, and its a beautiful place to experience the outdoors!

Found an injured turtle and brought it to the center on 5/27/18. They were closed when I arrived but thankfully a volunteer was there and gave me info on where I could take him for vet services (NC State turtle rescue). Cant say enough about how thoughtful this volunteer was and really went out of her way to help. Wish I had gotten her name.

The perfect place for summer camps!

Fun place to explore, great programs for kids.

Perfect place for a quick hike or picnic

A wonderful wildlife adventure

My grandson goes here, and he lives it!

Informative
