Really nice addition to the park I had passed by it many times but stopped there quickly today to check it out. The bathrooms are very nice and they have lots of information about all the local nature around the park. They even have an active bee colony on the back side of the building which is pretty neat. I will definitely be back to see more of what’s there soon!

I highly recommend stopping here if you’re in Ormond Beach. The center was very thoughtfully put together. If you want to know more about the nature that surrounds you, all you have to do is start reading the signs, match the pictures with the plants behind the sign and you’ll know what lives and grows in Florida. Great learning experience for people of all ages

Enjoyed a wonderful morning at the Environmental Discovery Center. The grounds boasts of many walking trails, several connected lakes where paddle boarding and non-motorcraft boating can occur, various gardens with flora and insects can be observed, and a 2,000 sq ft learning center is available for further exploration. We were there with our homeschool group where staff provided several stations for outdoor learning.

An amazing place.. good for science field trip and so much more. My whole family loved this place

Great time exploring with the family! Lots of information in a beautiful setting. A must see when visiting Ormond Beach.

Small but fun science center love the adjacent walking and kayaking trails

Such a great secret treasure that my whole family enjoyed.

Stumbled across this place, really cool! Got there around 5, they were closed and we had the place to ourselves. Watch out for the bees in back!

The staff are friendly & very eager to share their knowledge. Great displays & interactive learning opportunities. The childrens programs are very enjoyable & a great opportunity for the little ones to learn & have fun at the same time

This is such a wonderful hidden gem! We have lived in the area fort many years and just discovered this place recently! There are so many things to see and do! My little ones love all the hands on activities! The staff was very curious and very knowledgeable!

Great place to visit with young kids. Beautiful location, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They sponsor talks from local/regional experts on various topics that are very nice and relevant to the local environment and environmental concerns.

Small, PACKED gem!! Aquariums, binoculars, puppets, microscopes, bird songs, eagle cam.. knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and personable volunteer staff. Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

This is an amazing place. Nature lovers must see. Most of the activities and day classes are free. There is a glass enclosed beehive on-site, native flower garden, tiny free library in the parking lot, aquariums, and more.

Nice place to take the kids.

Free and great for kids. Friendly staff lots of things to learn about. I recommend for familys with kids or couples that like walks 10/10

An amazing little entry into the natural world of Florida. They have lots of great hands-on items for kids to learn about the environment and wildlife around them, and its Free! There are binoculars available for use in viewing the birds and grounds outside as well as native species aquariums and educational materials. Built on a series of 5 small lakes, the Central Park has walking and biking trails as well as launches for kayak, canoe or SUPaddleboard, community garden space, and peaceful grounds (even a labyrinth). They have many free seminars for learning about the natural area. What a GEM!

What a beautiful oasis in the middle of an urban center! The labyrinth was a bit of a let-down, but otherwise, you couldnt ask for more. There are playgrounds for the kids, a community garden, lovely paths that will accommodate you and your furry friends, educational opportunities for the young and not-so-young and of course a wonderful, serene and natural setting.

Very educational place very peaceful and theres lots to do and learn

Toni and Ed were wonderful and very informative about all the subjects there. Now Im interested in learning to keep bees. :)

I am so delighted that the city of Ormond Beach chose to develop this facility in this perfect setting right on a lake in Central Park. Much valuable information here on the local flora and fauna and regularly scheduled informational programs.

Not enough shade, but theres not enough shade anywhere in this state

Awesome!!!. This is a very nice place for people all ages located right here in Ormond. Great to bring visitors as well as to invite locals to enjoy beautifule nature and to relax. Its is free so there are not excuses. Its is quiet, no lines and not crowds!!. Perfect also for family trip.

Fantastic place! Absolutely LOVED it! Recommend it for ANY one especially if you have kids or out of town guests. Peacefully serene and lots of things to enjoy & learn.

My 5 year if son and I love this place. The volunteers are wonderful, and always eager to share their passion to educate.

Such a true gem in Ormond Beach. I cannot believe it took me this long to get there, but this location is wonderful and so educational for children and adults alike. They also have a summer program and various different programs throughout the year. We attended a program on raptors (Hawks and Owls). It was a terrific way to spend an hour and my granddaughter loves this location and the park that surrounds it.

Very friendly staff. Nice displays of native flora and fauna

Educational items and animals. Discover the wild side of Florida. Live display of fish, turtles and snake.

Great place to visit on a sunny day! Love taking walks through here and enjoying nature.

Not a lot to do but it is a nice way to spend an hour

Kayak or bike around the five lakes, visit the environmental center and get educated on the surrounding area, all free.

Nice park ! It has lakes and ramps for fishing and kayaking, many trails and paths some with bordwalks in a very nice area of town

Very friendly volunteers and a nice place to cool off and learn about local wildlife.
