Majestic View Nature Center Public Programs

Majestic View Nature Center Public Programs include activities such as the Nature Lover’s Book Club, Indoor Astronomy Night, nature storytime, practical gardening workshops, and nature art classes. The program takes place in a 3,000-square-foot nature center facility that features hands-on displays, wildlife exhibits, a kids’ activity area, classrooms, meeting spaces, an augmented reality sandbox, and a beaver lodge exhibit. The surrounding 80-acre park offers nearly 2 miles of nature trails through wetland and prairie ecosystems, including a paved Interpretive Trail and a mulch trail leading to the Oberon Lake overlook, with stroller-friendly trails that meet ABAS accessibility standards and a tip to stay for sunset and see westward mountain views.

• Ages: 0–18 years old
• Schedule: Winter hours run September 15 to May 15 with Thursday through Saturday hours from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and summer hours run May 16 to September 14 with Wednesday through Friday hours from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and Saturday hours from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The program’s stated mission is to offer a variety of programs designed to connect everyone, from toddlers to adults, with the wonder of nature. In collaboration with the City’s park maintenance and Master Gardeners, the 25,000-square-foot water-conserving demonstration garden provides information on invasive species, plant recommendations, habitat-friendly options, and best practices to support a sustainable and visually appealing garden.
