Oak Canyon Nature Center at 6700 East Walnut Canyon Road, Anaheim, California.

Twice times I have come to this place as Wednesday Field Trip Day for the two kids whom I brought here for Wednesday Field Trip Day. Both of the twice times the actual Nature Center part of the Nature Center has been not open. This is very likely my fault, as I have not researched when exactly it is supposed to be in an open condition.

There are a lot of other fun things to do here than visiting the actual Nature Center, though. There is hiking which is scaled very friendily to a kid level. There are some fun statues of snakes and of a huge egg which are perfect for photo opportunities. There is a creek which is rife with life. It's fun to watch the fauna do fauna stuff. There is a neat little vignette of a mine which could use some fixing-up, as the gear on display there is exhibiting the deteriorating effects of weather in a spectacular manner.

This place is really fun for a nature home, hide and seek and just playing around. We would really like to see just what is inside that Nature Center one of these days, though.
