Wonderful wildlife learning center! Theres a beautiful lake where you can go canoeing along with other great outdoor fun!

Beautiful beautiful green space Im the middle of north Philly 💞 🎄🎄

I absolutely love the discovery center! Being as though I am from neighborhood and also on the CEC committee here! The center has been extremely amazing and helpful from personal to business and academic 💙

Wonderful venue next to the water. A picturesque scenery if you love nature as I do.

Loved it. The view is absolutely beautiful. An artist from Brazil did portraits of people by painting with his mouth.

On Fathers Day I attended the barbecue which wasHosted by young woman namedHosted by young woman named Brianna.When se got there I guess we beat everyone there. She hooked it up her and her family that was there was very inviting to us the food was great the people that showed up was great my son loved it there I cant wait to do that again next year. Thank you to all that helped make it a special day for the fathers that came and I cant wait to come to the next event oh and your moms cooking was on point tell her thanks from all of us.

Amazing place to connect with nature! The Outward Bound program is out of this world!

Amazing place! Enchanting ambiance, delighting employees.

Keeping an open-air facility like this closed during the day is counter productive. People should be allowed to walk around the reservoir and enjoy a pleasant Winters day. Instead, you are greeted by locked gates. Who thinks this is a good idea?

Very disappointed. The Discovery Center itself was nice, but very small. Some nice views from the center, but I had higher expectations for the trail. The trail still has a fence and barbed wire separating you from the reservoir. Since you cant approach the reservoir, trees block any possible view of the water or seeing water fowl on the reservoir most of the time. The boardwalk over the water was closed. Only pro was that the staff member was very nice and they had a dove my young son could look at and pet.

Cool zip line and peaceful.

Great place to hike

Wow! This center is fantastic. The views of ducks and geese over the reservoir is so calming and beautiful. The visitor center has interactive displays for visitors to learn about the local birds, ducks and raptors. We look forward to visiting to climb the observation tower to see (hopefully) another American Bald Eagle!

A gem in fairmount park

Underwhelming. nice building and parking area leads to a disappointing unfinished trail that stops abruptly at the .66 mile mark. then you turn around and go back the way you came. most of the water and skyline views are obscured by fences, vegetation, and barbed wire. there are much better trails in this same area. this is not really a spot for serious hikers.

Cant believe this oasis is a 10 minute bike ride from where I live and in the middle of Philly

Its still in construction. Lake view was awesome. People were practising yoga in the center of lake, giving 5 for this alone.

A pleasant place to spend an afternoon. An unpaved trail wraps around a working reservoir that serves the city of Philadelphia. Its easy to forget that youre within a large city. The Audubon Society is hoping this becomes a waypoint for birds along the Atlantic flyway.

The Center is beautiful and the lake/bird preserve is stunning. I am from Philly and I didnt know this area was here. I thought this area was just a part of the water department. But I was wrong. They built in a rope climbing and obstacle course. They are building a rock climbing wall too. And you can see over 100 kinds of birds if you take your binoculars and follow the trail around the lake. This is all free. You should check it out.

Brilliant center. Looking forward to see how they are doing when they are up and running and more established. That said, they are doing great for their first few months.

Fun and exciting obstacle challenge and Great view of the River.

Awesome idea and a compete surprise something spectacularly beautiful is there right in our neighborhood. Wow

Another gem located in SM area enjoyed the walk being out in nature staff were friendly area clean. Bring binoculars if not you can borrow and leave id

I enjoyed the first time me and family attended the Discovery Center I enjoy the atmosphere

Beautiful place picked my son up from OUTWARD BOUND

New Audobon Society and Outward Bound Center in East Fairmount Park situated on a former City reservoir. The space is modern, with a short trail around the reservoir for bird watching.

Great place for learning about nature around you

Great for learning

Beautiful place to visit, however I went there for a event. Event was supposed to be for 4 hours, staff was shutting things down half way through, I was highly disappointed

A good place to see wildlife and think

What a cool place to have in the middle of Center City!

Outward Bound runs a heck of an education program – for any age!

Beautiful tranquility peaceful

Nice place.

Great for kids

Beautiful views
