Reviews of Wildflower Reserve Interpretive Center (Travel Agency)

Kyle Young

Awesome. Great staff inside ready to help and provide information.

Courtney Dekker

Thank you for guiding our wildflower hike!

Stefanni C.

Very nice! I must have just missed the peak of flower season... But it was a lovely hike... The not so much ventured trails were a bit over grown, but we made it!

Gabrielle Klezek

We take our school kids every year! They camp out the night before and spend the day here before returning home. Its beautiful, quiet, and an easy trail for some who cannot walk well.

Kevin Blake

I have never stopped in this I drive by twice a day and Google can't figure out how to tell the difference between driving by and driving through.........

William Freker

Went for a hike here the trails were marked and well laid out and loved the interpretive markers for the local plants. A great place to come hike and relax.

Patty Dee

Beautiful and serene....

Cardinal Pritchett

Omgosh- nature at its finest & most beautiful! Gorgeous wildflowers on several trails thru a wooded area. Had a wonderful time being in nature's beauty & God's creation!

Kevin Kisow

A beautiful area complementing the rest of the Raccoon Creek State Park. The Wildflower reserves highlights the beauty of the Raccoon Creek Watershed. This area is a hiking area only.

Ben Mathis

Love the trails

Thereaa Chapman

would be nice if they grew other flowers and put the names on those. Also, there was no nature center open that would be nice also, if it had better hours and the road was in better shape

Álvaro González

Nice hiking trails along Raccoon Creek. Very scenic in the summer and must be even better in the fall. Lots of good photo opportunities!

Mike Marutz

Very informative.

Crystal S

A mess of very easy trails. Great place for the aspiring botanist to get acquainted with some local species.

Ty Garside

Pretty dope.

Don Kirkwood

Wildflowers... Great learning experience

Tina Trypp

My family and me love walking the trails. Was expecting to see lots of flowers... Didn't see many, but the many trails make up for it.

Nicole Cox

Awesome family area

olive busson

Really nice park. Definetly does have a really diverse assortment of plants.

Emma Blumer

Beautiful trail & wildflowers!

Mike Christel

Look for tiny wildflowers at your feet off trail in mid to late April, these tiny flowers are amazing!

Erik

Great walking and hiking trails

D Staub

It's beautiful. Quiet (excpeg for the random jetliner flying close overhead, as the Pittsburgh International Airport is nearby). Trails are impeccably maintained. It's never super busy. Lots of photo opportunities to take in. Plenty of places to simply sit and take it all in. Of you've never been to this part of Raccoon Creek State Park, you're surely missing out.

Rocky Taylor

Great place for young minds to learn about the outdoors. The ranger was great with the kids, kept them interested.

Sarah Katchpole

So beautiful and peaceful. Short, easy trails for most ability levels. Not sure if there is a fully accessible trail, but that would be my wish for the future. Tons of gorgeous wildflowers, both tiny and large. I love bringing my dog to the park, but it was nice that there are no dogs allowed in the wildflower reserve - it makes things a little more peaceful.

tad gayhart

Great place

Michael Shaffer

Great for outdoor activities. Alot of wildflowers and wildlife.

Mary Minderlein

Beautiful smells and sounds in the forest today. The trails are great! Love this place!

Courtney Myers

Best place to get lost n forget the world

Scott Meneely

Friendly and informative park ranger had my kids release recently emerged monarch butterflies, all the while educating both the adults and kids on monarchs. Excellent and memorable experience, outside of it being an all around great state park!

Derek Demiter

Great trail. Great views. Super peaceful. Will be going back for sure.

Allison Jordan

Not the field of flowers one would assume is here. Barely any flowers actually.

Carole serena

Trail was okay would have been much more beautiful if the flowers were there but there was a very historic little cabin that made the trip worthwhile up the hill

Donna Reinwald

Beautiful day

Lawrence Thomas

Excellent short trail system with lots to see. Perfect for bird watching, photography, or a nice day out with family (excluding pets)

Kerry Beveridge

I love this place. It's beautiful. Shane Miller is knowledgeable and interesting. A great place to go if you would like to learn about plants, animals, and local history.

Tracy Marie

beautiful park....found small flower ID tags throughout while walking on the trail

Brandon Ashtiani Ashtiani

Had a wonderful time with my family!

Rebecca Hamel

Great place to look for wildflowers. The peak seemed to be the beginning of May. Very muddy trails after several days of rain. Nice spot for a walk but I can imagine it gets very buggy in the summer.

Janette Knittel

Buds, Bark, Branches walk at Raccoon Park Wildflower Center.

Conrad Schroeder

This is a really cool place with nice trails and plenty of plants and wildlife to see. This was my first trip, and we saw snails, deer tracks, lots of interesting insects, and a striped garter snake. Good for birding too if you remember your field glasses. Only drawback was that you could hear the nearby road noise from time to time.

droid 13 wolf

Paul Goldstrom

Always a great place to get away in.

Gavin Buxton

Check out the events page. This place is awesome.

Joseph Reid

I wish that I could give this place 10 stars!!! First off, what a great facility! While I wasn't there for a class or any event, I'm sure that they are amazing. Second, THE STAFF!!!!!!! (15 STARS!) I met Shane Miller, an Environmental Education Specialist, who works at the park. He has almost an encyclopedic knowledge of the park. I say almost because he is so into his job that he makes it interesting(so MUCH better than an encyclopedia). He has stories about every acre of the park. I could've talked to him for hours but my wife was expecting me home for dinner! Anyway, I can't say enough about the place or the people and I am so excited to go back...I'll be bringing as many people with me as I can. Shane, thank you for your help, advice, and insight into your corner of the world!

Cheryl Shanor

Many trails with beautiful flowers

Crystal Marie Notaro

Shane and staff are super knowledgable. Wanna know what it is or go on a guided tour? You got it . They have so many programs available Moth Night and Wildflower Walks are my favorites

Emily Tiberio

We visited today for a program about animal tracks and traces with our Girl Scout troop. We had a wonderful time. The girls were very engaged and Miss Brittanie did a truly wonderful job educating our girls. Highly recommend taking a group to Racoon for a program!

Spencer Hill

Interesting place if you enjoy nature and flowers. I'm sure it'd be a nice place to walk in good weather.

CE JH

Great area of the park with relatively easy hiking options.

Shane Maclaughlin

We love everything Raccoon has to offer. The Wildflower reserve has some of the best hiking and the Interpretive Center offers free events for people to come learn about various wildlife
