Germantown MetroPark Nature Center
Nature Center photoOur 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.

All park visitors are welcome to drop by the Germantown MetroPark Nature Center during our special public hours: Saturday and Sunday from 1PM to 4PM.
