What a beautiful area, and you would never really know it was there. Most people just go for the beach, but if you explore around a bit there are great walks, lots of scenery, and tons of wildlife.

This place is incredibly fun and amazing place to go with your kids. My 2 year old nephew loves this place and if it had a membership they would award him a lifetime membership. Also it is very educational and interesting at the same time. I just love it!

A free nature center that has a lot of interesting exhibits that focus on local wilderness. Explore Indoors and out in this fun and interesting area. Its the prefect way to break up the beach for 30-60 minutes as you and your family learn more about the world around you.

I think Connecticut beaches are no the best but they do a good job maintaining them. Let’s not bring down our beaches. We have amazing view of sunsets here and if you walk a little bit more at the end you will find a secret spot that you will enjoy the view in a romantic date.

I believe Meigs Point Nature Center is closed due to Covid-19, but once things return to normal, it is worth the trip for a great family experience. Hammonasset Beach park is an amazing resource with biking, hiking, bird watching and walking on the beach all worth the visit.

The views of the sky from the beach are awesome. Were those Purple Martins flying around at sunset?

Nice little nature center where children can learn about the local aquatic wildlife. There is a room where the kids can touch various seaside (lobster, skate, horseshoe crabs, etc). Volunteer at the touch tank to explain the different ocean life in the tank. Front desk staff watched us like hawks which made me feel a little uncomfortable .

Meigs Point is the place to go. Great facilities and quiet beach space.

Beautiful beach and it’s great from family outings.

Great free nature center . had lots of aquariums featuring CT native fish and turtles . also a giant 10 pound lobster . doesnt get any better especially considering the great price of $0.00

Lots to learn! Very interesting experience for all ages. Awesome learning experience about the wildlife and nature in our own state! Variety of animals and pictures to inform yourself about wildlife and how to preserve our planet

Everyone was very nice, and was knowledgeable. It was fun, I saw kids at the touch tank, full of delight... Even my friends from South America were excited to see the camouflage and defenses, of the ocean life, horseshoe crabs, skates, flounders...And we touched the snakes too.

Nice quiet beach.

Relaxing, fun and energizing

To M...who arrived late and felt very rushed by staff. Maybe dont arrive late next time.

This is a gem in the sand.. Russ gave me an extensive presentation.. I had no idea this facility had so much to offer.. This is a must see and it is free. I was totally impressed.. So kick the rugrat off the couch and experience the real Connecticut.. This is a must see. Im sure they except donations.. Sooo If you have a few extra bucks to chip in..... I write reviews for Google and I have no affiliation here... Enjoy

Wonderful place to see and learn about nature

Very educational with great views of the Sound

Beautiful location, great people

Great learning place offers such up close to nature educational!!!awesome stop after nice walk on the beach front desk people were so friendly and offered use of facilities....explained up coming activities

The beach at the Meigs Point Nature Center is nice. There is a pavilion with restrooms, showers, picnic tables and vending machines. The water is good, WATCH OUT FOR JELLYFISH. Overall, nice place to go wading in the water.

Arrived late and felt very rushed by staff. I do not understand the need to inform the public every few minutes you close at 5. Simply telling people were closed when the time comes should suffice. Otherwise, was very informative.

The rating isnt about the beach its self. Its about the people that come here. I was on the beach for 30 minutes and i picked up so much litter it was an eye opener for me. I cant wrap my head around how people are still litering on our already dirty beaches in ct. This really needs to stop. You bring stuff with you take it back off the beach with you.

My kids love going here every time we go camping. They love to see the animals and touch the ones they can.

Available for birthday parties/events, lots of parking (even on busy weekend beach days). Friendly and knowledgeable employees, great family destination!

Its a must-do long with camping at Hammonasset every summer. The new building is amazing and the events that they do for the kids to learn about science and nature are well worth our time.

Great people, great exhibits, wonderful resource!!

Great learning center and wonderful displays and staff.

First time here. It wont be my last.

If you go to Hammonasset you must stop at the nature center. Wonderful collection of labeled animals, history of Hammonasset, knowledgeable staff and so much more.

A great place to go with the kids, and dont miss going downstairs to play with the lobsters!

Great beach, tons of seashells

Always something new to see at the Meigs Point Nature Center! Free admission. Open all year round!

Great place with kids!

A beautiful state park, beautiful beach!

Awesome

Beautiful sunset.
