Inside the nature center, visitors can explore interactive exhibits, including “Our Inland Bays…A Delicate Balance,” which allows visitors to ‘virtually’ explore the Inland Bays watershed from the headwater streams, through the maritime forests, across the salt marshes to the bays using a state-of-the-art presentation called an I-Wall. Outside, visitors can make a similar exploration through forest and marsh along a handicap-accessible boardwalk with has been built to lead you through each habitat with educational signage to keep you informed along the way. The 26-acre conservation area includes three acres of forested uplands, nine acres of freshwater wetlands, and fourteen acres of tidal wetlands. Read more here...

Stopped for a quick visit at the nature walk. It’s about a 30 min engagement with some neat nature sightseeing. We saw many birds and I was able to capture some Osprey in their natural habitat.

Great educational center - we were a party of adults but think young children would enjoy as well. Short nature walk on a groomed trail/ boardwalk that my 85 year old parents could enjoy. Nice for a quick stop

This park is an absolute gem, its trail overlooks bay waters, heron and osprey are common sights, and the experience is very humbling. I feel a connection to nature here, where the importance of our wetlands sings through every tuft of grass, each tree, even down to the smallest bug or tadpole. I hope you include the Bethany Beach Nature Center on your next family outing.
