Lorrimer Sanctuary

Came for the first time today and already looking forward to returning and seeing what's changed! Trails are pristinely kept, and since the Sanctuary is set back from the road, it feels like you're disappearing into the trees. Educational signs are posted every so often with illustrations depicting the local wildlife and facts about them and their habits. Met a friendly staff member who told me a bit about future plans, which I'm looking forward to seeing! Wildlife everywhere, absolutely incredible.

Add this to your places to check out when you visit Franklin Lakes. Nature lovers will be right at home with all the trails and birds as well. The gift shop has many cool books and birdhouses.

Recently went to a birthday party here and PLEASANTLY SURPRISED at how much fun my 5 & 9 year old had! They offer so much - gift shop is very moderately proceed, birthday parties, knowledge, information, summer programs for the young explorer - the owner of the home is very accommodating, down to earth, knowledgeable, great with kids and inviting. We will 100% be back to explore the grounds and continue to learn about the beauty of nature (in our own backyard)

A little too early too see plants in bloom, but interesting how the have fenced off large portion to allow it to go natural without the dear eating all the young plants. Will be back in a month to see it awaken!

Order the pizza. It's some of the best I've ever eaten.nThe crust is great. Beer is cold, wine is chilled and the staff is friendly.
