Hidden Oaks Nature Center
7701 Royce St
Annandale VA 22003
Inside the nature center, you’ll find everything you need for some rainy day fun. There are costumes, a play fort, and lots of hands-on exhibits to explore. Your child will be entertained and learn about the natural world in a completely hands on, child-led manner.
Once you’re finished inside, be sure to head outdoors and let your kids explore Nature Playce- the interactive outdoor exhibit. They’ll dig. They’ll jump. They’ll climb. They’ll compare how big they are to how big the dinosaurs were. They’ll take turns. They’ll have adventures and rescue the downtrodden. This shady, fenced, all natural playspace is exactly right.
On your way out, make sure you stop for a photo op on the Butterfly Bench. There’s plenty of parking in the off-street lot, and restrooms are available whenever the nature center is open. (To confirm nature center hours, call 703-941-1065 or click before you go.)
