We were very happy to discover this place. Only 15 minutes from Stamford downtown. There is a bit of everything here: I really liked the palace and the statues. The boardwalks were nice and peaceful. We met two young fawns there. Also on the territory of the nature center we saw a lot of animals: cows, goats, chickens, ponies, pigs, horses, llamas and many reptiles in small souvenir houses. And otters, they are as always, amusing and amazing. Worth a visit for sure, even without children - a good anti-stress therapy.
Reallllly awesome place for kids and adults alike. Beautiful grounds and my son pet a baby goat, a Llama and a horse here! There is also an amazing otter that they feed every day and I recommend bringing your kid to watch the show!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
Free admission with a bus pass or a couple other circumstances. Lots of animals to see, lots of ground to cover. Lovely place to pass the evening.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
Not really for adults. When was the last time you were at the Stamford nature center? Maybe as a child? It’s got a cool old mansion with an art gallery, sculptures outside, an adjacent Full farm with petting, a natural preserve watershed with trails and elevated deck, and a little bit of art and a lot of basic science. They also have a brand new “barn” area w patio that opened November 2018 for wedding ceremonies - it is very nice. and they are building a full planetarium and observatory over the next few years! Disabled accessible, family friendly. No pets. But glad I came it’s very pretty today! Will come again. Plenty of donations. Snack food at gift shop and food trucks on site. Would give 5 stars if more epic scenery for adult hikes. Great for kids. Great for indoor and outdoor events. Good for weddings.
Farm animal area is well designed and maintained. Playground area is definitely a hit, very popular for kids. Free entry when I showed my Connecticut bus transfer tickets. Next time I'll bring books and coffee and read there in the afternoon.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
Loved coming here as a child and have amazing memories. Unfortunately, my most recent experience here with my little ones was disappointing. The staff isn’t friendly or welcoming at all. They look miserable for a place so well kept and beautiful - the only exception was the nice lady at the gift shop who managed to smile. The guest experience is so crucial in this financial climate.
This place was a lot of fun. It's a great activity that you would not expect to be so close to an urban center like Stamford. There is also an observatory here which is open only at specific times, but it offers another possibility to explore. I spent the day hiking around the premises and watching the animals. There were also fully ripe raspberries available to pick and eat right there.
Well maintained farm and trails. One trail is stroller friendly, nice to bring your little ones for a short stroll in the woods. Love the farm, good place to bring kids to explore.
Awesome place with a farm, reptiles, and an owl.
Such a beautiful place to go for a walk and with your kids. You can get up close and pet the animals. They also have a museum we didn’t get to experience. They have a beautiful playground . We are definitely returning
