Great for kids due to short nature trails. You can walk up to the river or gaze from an observation deck. Cute but very small cave on one of the paths.
Everything about this place was impressive. We spent most of our time down by the water and at the Cave. The trails are well kept, signs are clear and parking was easy. Highly recommend.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A super cool place on the Fox River, with trails and a cave. They also have live turtles and snakes in their nature center. After the nature center, you could walk up and down the Fox River Trail. There are a lot of cool things to see with views of the river.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
A nice place for a day trip if you live in Chi. We did a winter hike. The snow shoe rental was 5$ and well worth it. It was super cold but we had a lot of fun. The North Aurora River front park is close-by and it is really gorgeous as well. We visited that on our way back.
A nice trail for a walk or a jog. Friendly for bikers tooVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
Very fun place for families or just anyone who wants to be out for a walk.
Great place for a hike in the woods and to appreciate nature. I love bringing my daughter here. The nature center is great. Unfortunately the animal exhibits were closed for a Halloween event.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
Educational nature center with so much fun stuff for the kids! Outdoor nature play area. Nature trails on the Fox River. Bike trail and a small cave to explore.
My granddaughter begs to go to Red Oak. We like the indoor exhibits that are very educational. The nature hikes thru the woods along the many trails are a fun way to appreciate and learn about the animals and plants around us. With so much to learn, we'll be returning many times.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
