The Schuylkill Center was very helpful to my brother and I when we both rescued wildlife with injuries. One a seagull with a broken wing and an opossum that was having trouble with his hind legs. I was able to keep updated on the progress of the animals by phone. Its a wonderful rehab for injured wildlife. Thank you, SC!

A well established yet easily overlooked green space in Philadelphia, the Schuylkill center offers a number of environmentally linked activities. From preschool to plant sales, and farm plots to easy hiking, theres something for everyone.

It’s a nice little place to walk around. Environmental center is open from 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday for kids education. The trails surrounding it are open dawn to dusk though although you can’t drive back to the environmental center you have to park a little bit of the street in the lot. There are a few cool stone carvings back there, a pond in which they are trying to regrow Cattails! There is also remnants of an old Spring House that is from the colonial era on one of the trails.

This is a true hidden treasure!!! Nestled in the city, quiet and beautiful setting into the woods. The perfect getaway with children.They have an indoor art gallery and small store. Very reasonable pricing!Get on their email list for all the cool events throughout the year.

I want to stay here all the time. Such a magical oasis of nature. Thank you so much to the many staff members who have showed our camp a great time.

Great place to take the kids for a nature day. Take note, no dog walking is allowed on trails to preserve the natural order of... nature. Also, a great plant sale takes place here every spring.

Best kept secret in Philadelphia. Trails, nature center and year round activities are all amazing. Seedlings is a nature focused class for young kids where they explore facets of the natural world hands on

This place had a great nature program for the kids. They spend most of the day outside playing and learning about the world around them.

Beautiful place to hike. Fun special events for kids. Excellent nature preschool. Native plant sales.

Short hike, lots of nature, and they sell native plants. Worth checking out.

Great place to wander, especially Pine Grove.

My daughters class went here on a field trip last week and I didnt think it was that great. All they did was get to try to scoop things out of 2 ponds with a 3 foot net so they couldnt catch much. At the second lake, we were the second group for people to go there so any animals were scared away by the time we got there

Lovely place!

Fun for children and adults alike

Small nature center with trails and visitors center. Native plant sale in the spring

Cool place

A hidden gem in Philly.
