Environmental Discovery Center

The Environmental Discovery Center will be closed Jan. 30-Feb. 12 and will re-open Feb. 13, 2019 with our "Down the Drain" Exhibit.

The Environmental Discovery Center at Spring Lake Regional Park is a natural history center featuring hands-on displays and exhibits designed primarily for children in elementary school.

Things to Do

At the Environmental Discovery Center, kids can:

Learn about Sonoma County's ecosystems through exhibits that invite them to touch, climb, crawl, and imagine
Explore a tide pool with live sea creatures, see live turtles, snakes and fish, and get up close to taxidermy wildlife like mountain lions and coyote
Conduct earth science experiments and learn to look at surroundings in new ways
Hike with a naturalist and learn about local plants and animals

The Environmental Discovery Center was established in partnership with the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation and Sonoma County Water Agency.
