    A gem of Lake County. There is so much to do and see. My wife and I are regular walkers of the four-mile walking path. A nature center with owls and bird watching areas to capture some great photos. The water features contain turtles, fish and many times a blue heron looking for lunch. You have to visit yourself to get a better understanding of this massive park.

    A favorite place since childhood, when Sanctuary Marsh was still Sunset Pond. It's only gotten better through the years. Easy boardwalk across the marsh for views of various fish, turtles, birds and more (watch for the Great Blue Heron that regularly stands on the feeder). Many animals on display in the center, as well as several owls in the rehab up the path. Great place for all ages!

    I loved it here. Absolutely wonderful park and nature conservatory. So much to see. I felt like I was in the forest. It’s beautiful and wonderful and I highly recommend. I drove 40 minutes one way for an event here and do not regret it.

    Beautiful as always. The 61⁰ weather made for a nice autumn walk. The chipmunks were very active. The great blue was on the lagoon all afternoon. We learned about a new type of aphid. A great day!

    I love the Metroparks nature centers. They are like an oasis along our hiking adventures. North Chagrin is one of our favorite places to walk. The nature center is pretty. Kids would like it 👍🏻

    Our first time attending was the Nature at Night event, and it was a great experience. The scenery is great. The staff and volunteers are very friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and offer nature and park lovers the ability to have access to spacious trails and lots of history plaques nestled near plants and animal (likenesses). My kids enjoyed the giant snake and frogs.

    Beautifully designed building that connects you with the magnificent nature all around. The staff are pleasant and interact with children well. There is much to learn, to see and enjoy here. Nature lovers will enjoy a visit to this facility most definitely. It is a lovely spot for photos as well.

    Wonderful programs for all ages - toddlers to adults. Large nature center with a play area and room for education/events. We love to see the live, native animals in their care and speak with the naturalists. In our experience, they have always been so friendly and happy to chat or share information. The trails are also nice - some paved, some not - with beavers, tons of birds, coyotes, etc.

    We went to a birthday party at the Nature Center and the facility was beautiful. Well kept and staffed. We went for a walk around the pond where a staff member Kelsey took the time to show our kiddos a painted turtle from the pond.

    One of my favorite places in the North Chagrin Reservation. Ponds that are a great place to view wildlife, manicured trails, a learning center that is great for the little ones, a gift shop, indoor facilities. A real gem.

    Beautiful place. Play area inside and outside for children's imaginations to roam. We will be back. Bonus patches are paved. Pond has a boardwalk. Small caged bird sanctuary behind nature center
