Summer days are just meant to be spent outdoors, whether we’re at an amusement park or our local swimming pool. After all, before we know it, we’ll find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a cold and dreary Pennsylvania winter. For a fun day out with the family, consider a visit to Briar Bush Nature Center in Pennsylvania, which offers everything from hiking trails to a natural playscape for the little ones.
Set off on a day of fun when you visit Briar Bush Nature Center in Abington, a family-friendly destination where you might learn some new things while having a good time.
While the popular museum and bird observatory are currently only open for special programming, you'll still find a ton to do outside at the 12.5-acre nature center.
In fact, you might want to wear a pair of comfy shoes, because you've got a lot of exploring to do. Follow one of the scenic hiking trails, like the Storybook Trail.
Always remain on the path, so you don't disturb the ecosystem off of the trail. If you see a pretty flower or an interesting plant, you can snap a picture, but don't pick any to take with you.
Briar Bush Nature Center also hosts a variety of programs for adults, families, and kids. If you're looking for summer fun for the kids, sign them up for one of the popular summer camps.
