Van Cortlandt Nature Center

I can't really rate it based on my own experience but I seen others camping inside the yard of the center.. I love the whole idea of camping.. I really don't know the history behind the building or the statue of the man in front of the building.. so I give 4 stars

You can see and touch cool stuff here (Ex. Possum fur). Bringing young kids here is a good idea as they have activities for them.

Nice little center for outdoors eduction. The park is right next to the a subway station. We attended Urban Rangers fire making skills class. The stuff were very professional and super nice.

I loved this place because there is a recreation center as well as the museum for exploration.

Van Courtlandt park is very big , clean also police crude around several times so you feel safe . You can do family gatherings , BBQ'S but , it's to far for me .
