The Mary Vagle Nature Center

A great place to take the kids!

September 13, 2014

Located in south Fontana at the foot of the Jurupa Hills, the Mary Vagle Nature Center is a natural refuge in the midst of an urban landscape. Here you can enjoy a walk along the nature trail winding around the pond, spot what is currently blooming in our native gardens, or venture inside and discover exhibits of local plants, animals, geology and history. The Nature Center offers an oasis for both old and young to explore, investigate and nurture their curiosity about the outdoors.

I think it's great place to relax and enjoy nature. You can check-out backpacks (stocked with exploration or art supplies) to make it a wonderful experience and adventure in learning. The mini museum/animal exhibit gives an interesting, hands on experience kids will especially love.
