This is a fantastic place to learn about nature... We try to have my daughter attend all of their monthly classes ($3/pp!) and yesterdays compass class was great! Not only did she learn about how to *properly* use a compass but she thoroughly enjoyed the games designed to make using the compass fun - We highly recommend it!
The Finch Hollow Nature Center is a great place for people of all places, however one thing that is great is that the physical center itself has museum interpretation geared towards kids. My kids always ask to go inside before we hit the trails. In back there is a meadow and a forest ecosystem, as well as a small pond, which is currently flooded. I would recommend insect repellent.
Nice place to walk or pic-nic. Not too big of a property and the trails arent too long. Something nice to do on sunny and breezy day. Highly recommend.
I loved the nature trails and the scenery is very beautiful. I will recommend anyone who likes the outdoors and nature to go there.
Lovely place for a walk and to learn about nature.
Very beautiful pond. The nature trails are small. A decent place to go for a walk.
I love this place. So peaceful and beautiful
We love Finch Hollow Nature Center! Its a serene place to go for a beautiful view and glimpse of nature and wildlife.
Quiet, gorgeous views, had the place to ourselves. Not an expansive set of trails, short hike, but well kept and pleasant.
Awesome time with my grandson n his 1st grade class
Its a wonderful place for school aged children (6-12), to learn about the nature surrounding them. Its a hands on museum and kids love it!!
Such a fantastic gem! Field, pond, stream, and coniferous ecosystems all in a short walk!
Havent fixed the path around the pond in years. Rarely mowed.
Finch hollow has great kids summer programs! My son looks forward to it every year.
Very cool places to discover
Good place for a short hike after work.
A little small as far as the property size but good info.

2022-03-22This a Survivalist class and its been a great hands on experience for my son. Theyve learned how to make knots and how to apply the skill in an emergency shelter building exercise. The museum is a fun hands on interactive environment , and the trails are open all year around for use. This is a series of classes available and supported through the 4-H program by the Cornell extension programs. The teacher is very inclusive and friendly. Thank you Ms. N

2022-06-23Big & Spacious. Mowed paths & trails. A few picnic tables & benches provided. Also you can take your dog. Better yet it is free! No cost. ( I am sure they would except donations) About 3 miles out from Oakdale Mall.

2021-03-21The park was fun to walk although it was wet from the rain and snow there seemed to be a party sometime before as there was a soda bottle and a spirit bottle, the the trial was long but a little boring was expecting a hike but got a walk instead. Overall a good park but nothing to write home about

2019-07-20Beautiful. Great for people who enjoy walking nature trails. The fields are green. There is a seasonal stream, and a year-round pond. We saw hundreds of tiny frogs that we initially thought were crickets. The hill to begin with is a steep one, but even if you decide not to go down the hill to the many walking trails, the view from the top of the hill on a sunny spring day offers the feel from The Sound of Music. There is also a visitors’ center, but I have always walked around it to get to the trails. The top of the big hill also has grills and picnic tables for use. This facility is run by Cornell Cooperative Extension.

2021-04-30We went on a Spring Walk. The volunteers were amazing and great with my daughter. We learned a lot about birds and other wild life. It is a great hike to go on your own, we will be returning on our own.

2020-08-07The trail was beautiful. Hoping for some peace and serenity while walking the trail and to enjoy nature not to far from the city of Binghamton but instead of peace and serenity had to listen to someone near the trails ride his dirt bike and four wheeler across his property the whole time we were there.

2020-05-25Very nice and quiet. Has good views and there are frogs and tadpoles and such. I went on a Sunday so the building was closed but the grounds were open. There is a large pond and a creek to splash in.
