Rocky River Nature Center

Rocky River Nature Center, nestled in the Rocky River Valley within the expansive Rocky River Reservation, offers visitors a unique experience. The center boasts stunning views of a 360 million-year-old shale cliff from its deck overlooking the river. Inside, guests can journey through time with exhibits showcasing the valley's early inhabitants, including the ancient Dunkleosteus fish from the Devonian sea.

For a full immersive experience, visitors can explore HideAway Hollow, a giant oak tree playground for kids, and meander through gardens leading to over five miles of trails. These trails wind through diverse landscapes, from the river's edge to wetland forests, ponds, hilltops, and ancient American Indian earthworks, offering a glimpse of Ohio's wildlife and changing nature sightings in every season.

The center also features a Cleveland Metroparks Nature Shop on-site, providing an opportunity to take home a piece of the experience. With a variety of activities and amenities, including educational programs, rentals for events like birthday parties and corporate meetings, and a maximum capacity of 90 shared parking spaces, Rocky River Nature Center promises a memorable and educational visit for all ages.
