Such a sweet wetland! Great birdwatching and beautiful cattails. The hike on the boardwalk is so peaceful.

Nice, peaceful place for a walk. We even got to see the first snow of the season!

Had a lovely walk with my daughter. Plenty of space along trails and in the open areas to observe nature without feeling crowded by other people. Lots of ducks and turtles in the wetland paths behind the Wildlife Presentation Center. Cheap fun.

Oh this place is a Roseville gem! Always lovely year round. So well maintained, peaceful, healthy plants and flowers. Perfect location for family or nature photos. Extraordinary during lilac season. Great walking paths too. I’m very grateful to all the volunteers who keep this a special, happy place!

So glad this center exists. I found a baby squirrel in my yard. After waiting about 2 hours, hoping it would be found by its mother, I found the center on Google. The staff was wonderful. They took the little beastie, asked a few questions to help care for it and actually thanked me for bringing it in. They also gave me an email address so I could check up on its health.

We dropped 2 baby squirrels off at the wildlife rehabilitation center. They are fantastic.

It is a nice place to walk, or sit and enjoy nature! You can sit and watch ducks, geese and turtles. There is a cool boardwalk for you to walk on and a define path into a wooded area you can follow.

The boardwalk was beautiful. The trail through the forest was wonderful and twisty, perfect for a little kids to run around and explore.

Beautiful spot for a casual day time stroll. Not too long if youre a little out of shape. Beautiful views and sometimes funny ones.

Its both beautiful and peaceful to walk around. I love bringing my dog here for walks.

Very nice norwalk to walk on with lots of good wildlife.

What a jewel of a park. Well cared for nature center attached to Central Park. Great walking paths, a boardwalk through the swamp, and (allowing for Covid-19 restrictions) a great little interpretive center.

Gorgeous! A peaceful setting in the heart of the Twin Cities. The nature center was perfect to bring my son to play inside too!

First visit... Winter time but still great hiking the trails!

Beautiful park. Lovely nature and well maintained trails.

Nicest people there that help all the animals. Thank you for caring when so many others dont!!!

Epic place to eat all of garden. Dont drop ur meatball

Very cozy, cute place! Fun for the kids. Live animals. Pretty sweet!

So peaceful on the boardwalk. Ducks and geese everywhere and great fall colors.

Sting and Luigi had a great time walking the trails and getting lots of sniffs in.

Such a lovely little hidden geml

I Volunteer here every week and it’s a lovely place to be amidst the nature. Great place for kids to play and learn for free. Lots of free events and great paid kiddy camps. It’s very versatile you can rent the space for parties and meetings. When you visit don’t forget to visit the classroom with an amazing live reptile and amphibian display.

Does anybody remember the days of this being an actual floating Boardwalk when youd walk on the boards and theyd roll under your weight where was closed board walks or an observation tower with broken stairs.Miss treated and failing apartbecause the city failed to care for it and it was missing boards and there was space where you would have to jump over Open Water to get through?Some of the walkway passed wide open water and there was water on both sides.What a trill.I miss the days of taking my dates there carving our names into the Wood on that old tower.Robert Westlund for Mayor.

These people are wonderful. We found a wounded gull and brought her right in. Though she didnt survive, the staff did all they could and brought her what comfort they could til the end. Thankful that there is a place like this in the metro area.

I volunteer at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center there. Its awesome.

Cant believe this beautiful park in right in the middle of the city. Wish I had known it was there years ago. Peaceful and happy place.

Beautiful park with very peacfull marsh boardwalks. Great bird sanctuary facilities with awesome educational events and displays.

Great little location. We bring the kids here at least once a month to let them connect with Mother Nature and its always a beautiful place.

Exploring in my new location. Went to website - saw the big tree in the main building and drove there post haste! The Volunteer was so friendly and helpful! Great place!! And I’ll be back as soon as possible!

Very family friendly and educational programs are outstanding...Entertainment was also excellent...

The nature center is located centered in a sprawling, well kept park.

Loved walking the boardwalk trail. It was something different than the usual dirt trails along a lake.

Awesome place! I loved the tree with the stuffed animals in it!

A great place to see nature. The boardwalks through marshy habitat are fantastic. The exhibits/toys in the building could use a little updating, but our preschooler enjoys them.

Beautiful paths and well maintained. I was there to drop off a duckling that was injured at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Nature is good for grand kids. We need less Xboxes n more sand boxes...

Very relaxing and clean

A great place to walk and the nature center has lots of animals and kids activities inside.

Fun walk

Great hiking place in the middle of the city.

A little place of nature and lots of water. We saw a mink there, beautiful!

I dropped off an injured squirrel a few weeks ago the staff were very nice and appreciative of the good deed. They also give you follow up information to see what happens with the little critter you saved which is very thoughtful. Hopefully I dont have to but if I ever need to rescue another animal I will for sure be bringing it here.

Nice place to come with the family. Also great summer camps for kids!

Beautiful place. Just dont touch the metal boundaries or you might get cut.

Friendly, caring staff.Great place to have a kid birthday party. They have a beautiful large counter top, oven, some pots and pans if you need to keep some foods warm. Full refrigerator to keep ice cream frozen!The staff helps you pick out a theme for a small educational and hands on demonstration. The kids got to play with a turtle and salamander.

I found this place when a wounded turkey ended up in my yard. Its not as close as some of the nature centers near me but it has a Aviary rehab so thats where I went. The volunteers were very nice answer the phone quickly, and took the turkey to get assessed and treated, or if two injured or sick to survive, humanely put out of its misery. I wasnt there very long so I dont have great details about the Nature Center or the park around it but it looks nice. And its nice to know that theres a place to take wounded animals, sooner or later you need a place like this.

This is a great place to find a quiet place to roam and enjoy the outdoors. I went when it was sunny but chilly, and I had a great time sitting out warm in the sun. It also give you a breathe of fresh air. It is by the Wildlife Reserve and the Nature Center which makes this place so special.

Wonderful place to spend some family time. And its free. The children love the floating docks and the Nature Center has a live beehive. We always have a great time

Urban Hiking!

We toured the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and then went to the nature center. Interesting to see how they take care of the animals at WRC and fun to see the reptiles in cages at the nature center.

Friendly staff very helpful

A good place to take a hike.

In addition to the nature center, which is wonderful, educational, and a beautiful place to visit, the associated Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility next door handles thousands of injured or orphaned animals each year! It survives completely on donations, so everyone who visits should donate whatever they can! Its a great way for children to see the results of volunteering and donating!

We love the Nature Center and Bruce is amazing. Please please please install changing tables in the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms! It couldn’t possibly cost that much, and since this is a family destination, it seems like a no-brainer.

They have park, trails, animal rehab. Its was relaxing, quiet, pretty, interesting.

Come here every year for their Halloween activities.

They take in abandoned/orphaned wild animals, give them care, release when possible/safe. Donations accepted.

Wonderful walking trails.

Harriet Alexander Nature Center is a great place for everybody especially if you like the outdoors its a great place to take walks go hiking and they have educational programs for kids as well. You can also picnic there if you like its a really nice place to go and just relax and clear your head and forget about the hustle and bustle its a really great place for the whole family

Minnesota wetlands at its best!

Wonderful paved trail system around lake and through the woods. The center has activities for kids, a great library and fun staff.

Great for kids. Toys, exhibits, new hive and live animals. Then walk through the marsh on the boardwalk.

Nice place to hike. Nature center is small with nice book collection. Great for families with small children

Beautiful place to appreciate nature!

Great place to walk, nice trails!

Beautiful, peaceful

Beautiful place for a walk!

Great walking paths, interesting in all seasons!

Great people working here. They truly help injured animalsWonderful place to take the family to learn and explore.

BEAUTIFUL place for pictures

Its also a wild life rehabilitation center.. donations and volunteers are how they are they are able to care for thousands of injured animals.. whether the animal was hit by a car, a cat or dog attack, etc... bunnies, squirrels, birds, etc... they are always so nice and eager to help the injured animal you bring in....

You cant hear traffic, most of the time!

Very nice, pretty area. Went for the Wild Rice festival, 1st time going and I really enjoyed it. Nice place to get away from hussle and bussle of the cities.

The nature center itself is great, kid friendly, open and interesting, but dont miss the bog walk!

Very quiet and secluded boardwalk through the swampy areas. A nice change of scenery on my normal walks with the dogs

Nice walk

Nice people and they took the baby animals that were abandoned

Lovely place for families to learn about nature. Some tanks of turtles and reptiles and small, nature based play area with friendly volunteers.

I really love this Nature Center good for families to bring their kids out and see the Nature Center

Lots of fun a0nd things to do!

Wonderfully hidden little jem

Awesome boardwalk and walking trails!

We have been here a couple of times for scouting-related activities and from the visitors center to the boardwalk everyone loved it.

I did one of the sprout prek programs with my daughter and she loved it. We will be back!

Im brought in baby squirrels found orphaned and they were able help them! Staff is friendly and resourceful.

Amazing staff, learned a lot when bringing in a couple lost ducklings.

Nice boardwalk quite extensive. Peaceful.

Very nice place. Went to a memorial service. Was very peaceful filled with nature .

We have been visiting this gem for close to a decade on a weekly basis and there is still always something new to see! Plenty of good educational programs and activities!

Great place to bring the Wouded

The ladies were very kind and helpful and even laughed at my silly comment.

Great trails and very peaceful

A nature center... nice location, nice path to enjoy nature

My favorite park. Not as awesome and big as some other parks around the world but its close, clean and feels like home. ^_^

Good, but they need a little more activities for like the adults and the teenagers and the older kids kind of things

Learning and fun rolled into one!

Great place, they had an amazing Halloween special.

Minnesota wonderful

This is a wonderful place to take kids or go for a quiet walk.

Best place for a peaceful walk
