Meadowside Nature Center

Meadowside Nature Center offers hands-on natural and cultural history programs for families, schools, and scouts. Visitors can spend their time hiking 8 miles of nature trails or visiting the resident owls, hawks, and American Bald Eagle in their Raptor Aviaries. Inside, visitors can explore the diverse habitats found in Maryland as they crawl through a cave or look at the world from a fish’s point of view in our Legacy of the Land Exhibit (currently under renovation). Their Curiosity Cornerdiscovery room contains books, games, puzzles, and more live animals for young naturalists to explore nature in child-friendly environment.
