Came here for a quick picture. So many people were here. I loved it. Super cool and fun and most importantly free! If your near the area, please stop by. You wont regret it. Parking is kind of hard although you can just park across and walk.

Visited the Nix Nature Center for the Hawks and Raptors educational event. Very friendly and informative staff! The Center itself is beautiful and a great starting point for many hiking/biking trails. They host many free events throughout the month, so check out their website! (Note, the events may be geared slightly more towards children, but they are still enjoyable and informative for adults.)Parking is $3 but if the lot is full, theyll direct you to park along the dirt road and its free.

Just started usin yelp. Want to show my comments to the places I went to. If you like driving and excitement you will like this place. No racing though or they slow you down.

Came here today and enjoyed a few hours of hiking. The weather was great and there wasn’t that many people. The only down side was that there wasn’t that much parking and people had to wait for people to leave so they could park. My son road his bike and had a good time. The trail maps were hard to read and so we could figure out exactly where we were but google did a good job providing a top down view. Parking was $3.00 which isn’t bad I think I will get an annual pass as I do plan to go back and visit other OC Parks. I highly recommend.

I think it was pretty long and tough. The shortest course took 2.5 hours up and down.But I actually enjoyed a lot for beautiful scenery.

Nice hike up from the Nix Nature Center today. Its exactly one mile from the center up the Little Sycamore to Serrano Ridge trail to where the arrow is on the map. Nice view, but little shade, so bring water.

Trails were clean and not busy. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The museum is interactive and innovative. Maps were readily available and the hikes were relatively easy with good views. It wasnt difficult. Highly recommend.

Nice parking lot, but not a single space to be had at 9 a.m. on a Saturday, so we left. There was absolutely no legal parking nearby, or within a reasonable walking distance

It’s my go to park for hiking. Lots of challenging trails. It opens at 8 at in summers too. Sometimes it’s too hot at 8 itself. Park timings in summer needs to be revisited.

The parking lot hours are 8-5 (maybe for summer only?). $3 for all day parking. Some trails are closed, so its a good idea to check with visitor center before starting your hike.
