Germantown MetroPark Nature Center

Our facility highlights stewardship of natural landscape by providing hands-on activities with native animals and conservation practices. We also take pride in our parkland’s cultural history from Hopewell period to present day. People of all ages will find something to do in the center, such as quiet corners for parent-child interaction, practicing turkey calls or touching animals.

In the center, we have lots of exciting ways to discover and observe wildlife. Lift up display panels or hold down buttons to illuminate display answers. Play bird sounds and open drawers to investigate bones and furs. Or simply relax on a bench. The center is an active place for learning and getting your senses ready to explore outside.
