Irvine Nature Center

Sharing nature’s wonder. That’s what Irvine does best. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are well-trained and knowledgeable folks who make the natural world come alive for all ages.

Join us for a program!

School programs include field trips, teacher training and nature in the classroom experiences.

Our public programs for all ages cover a variety of natural history topics.

Our Summer Nature Camp is a series of popular week-long day camps, our fully licensed Nature Preschool teaches 3-5 years olds with a nature-based curriculum, and our nature-themed birthday parties can be held on- or off-site.

Special Events, such as our annual Native Plant Seminar & Sale, is geared toward adults and landscape professionals, and our ever-popular PumpkinFest, a celebration of autumn is for families. You might also want to check out Feathers in Flight (Irvine's birding seminar), Kids Unplugged (our Earth Day Celebration), Project CleanStream and Bird-a-Thon.

And if you want to enjoy a more informal experience, why not just come visit our Nature Center for some self-guided fun?
