Beautiful place to lose yourself in nature! Love having this so close by. (My little kids love it too!) And when the bird sanctuary is open its a huge treat for the kiddos! Very cool.

Great place to wander and relax in a mostly natural environment. Marked trails and a shop that I skipped. Enjoy birds, butterflies, trees and a marsh.

So pretty and a nice way to get some nature in your day.

Always a beautiful and peaceful hike, whichever season....

I absolutely love this place! The grounds are gorgeous, the people are amazing, and the inside is fantastic. We visited for a field trip and everything was perfect. My students learned so much and had a lot of fun! I highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the trails and even the shop inside, live animals also inside like snakes and turtles and frogs and especially seeing the owls was so much fun. The trails were well managed and the signage was adequate. They supply a free map and a *suggested* donation of $2/per person. There’s a bathroom inside to use pre or post hike provided they don’t close up while you’re out. Some of the elevated boardwalks could slightly use some TLC but overall they were in good enough shape. No dogs allowed and check the hours as they do close early in the off season.

Great place for a nature walk or to see the raptors. Or kids love it. Make sure you go prepared with bug spray in the summer, can as it is mostly wetlands. You can make a quick trip into the farm pond or a long hike through the trails. Small donation is appreciated for the nature trail.

Almost dont want to rate this place or give it a review because part of the charm of it is how quiet it is. Great for nature walks. Some of the trails are less than perfectly marked, and cell reception is spotty, so make sure to take a picture of the map at the entrance before venturing off.

Beautiful trails, peaceful escape

Fun for the whole family. Educational school field trips.

Beautifully maintained trails. Even lovely to hike in the rain as the canopy keeps you nice and dry! A must see. Free for Fairfield residents and Audubon Society members. Small donation for others ($2).

Offers pleasent walks through the countryside, a bird of prey sanctuary and a decent visitors centre. $2 suggested donation is good value.

Great place to loose yourself for an hour or two

My family and I loved the birds you presented at the Shepaug Dam. Thank you!

Really fantastic trails, esp the Riverside trail.

Nice enough place for a walk but in need of some upkeep. Wooden walkways are rotten and there is a feeling of disrepair. The people in the visitor center were super friendly and helpful. I think we saw one bird on our entire walk. More feeders are needed to attract birds.

Before breakfast I like to tweet with the birds in real life and then paint a bird or 3 that flew over the mans nest

Perfect escape into guided trails. $2 suggested donation to experience the walk. Consider a membership if you frequent.

Peaceful, serene place to stay and meditate. Enjoy the fall season with all the colors of the leaves.

Nice place too go for a hike, see the birds in the enclosure, if its open, & look at some reptiles and amphibians. Also you can buy some memorabilia in the gift shop. Seems some parts of trails have not been taken care of lately, maybe when weather warms up ;-)

Great, knowledgable staff and just a nice place to be

Amazing trails to walk

Lovely walk through the woods tended by Eagle Scouts... a plus!

Wonderful place to daytrip with the kids

Lately Ill tweet with birds in person here

This is the best place I have visited, a wonderful place with very kind people.

Nice place for hikes. Some of the southern trails were a bit narrow for my taste, but overall, even in winter there were some sights to be seen. Also has a nature center, but was unable to go inside because it was closed, but that might be something great for kids as well.

Can be buggy and hard for littles to walk/hike but its a beautiful space and the Audubon Society does wonders for the town of Fairfield! We love visiting!

Great place for a hike with family/furry friends

So wonderful to enjoy the beautiful nature paths. It was such a pleasure to see all the young folks contributing to take care of the fowl.

I enjoyed getting to spend an hourr of solitude here, listening to the birds chirping and the squirrels scurrying around the forest floor. It was also great to see the rehabilitated birds in their enclosure. I also am a huge fan of their mission of conservation.

Had an excellent walk on a cold clear day. Trails could be better marked but overall a great day out in the fresh air.

Love their summer camp

Linda did an amazing job leading inquiry-based activities that relate to earth and life sciences for our students.

A great place. Beautiful scenery, and the people here honestly care about the environment.

Great playground for kids and they have a building to go in to see and learn about some animals there is also a pond to sit at or walk around

Nature at its finest. Enjoy a walk in the forest and unplug for a while.

Beautiful place to take a walk. Plenty of trails in a variety of lengths and difficulties. Good for kids!

The instructors were great and the kids had a wonderful time, cant wait to return!!

Nice place to bring kids to introduce them to nature.

Very tranquil hiking paths circle the property and seeing the birds up close is great for the kids.

Good trails, some of the most obscure ones were better marked.

Great walking trails. Dont miss the outdoor white owl exhibit

Nice Audubon center with gift shop, wildlife sanctuary and raptors on display.

Beautiful open space and great for family exploring. Recently went for family photo shoot.

Wonderful, educational facility for a family visit.

Great people!
