Ogden Nature Center

The Ogden Nature Center is a 152 acre nature preserve and education center located in Ogden, Utah. Created in 1975, it was Utah's first nature center.

About
The center includes live animal exhibits, walking trails, ponds, bird blinds, observation towers, treehouses, gardens featuring drought resistant plants, and protected areas for wildlife. It offers nature-based classes and activities for children and adults, as well as classes on environmental issues.

In 2003, the center added a 6000 sqft education building, constructed on green building principles and insulated with recycled materials.

In 2018, artist Jane Kim painted three murals at the Ogden Nature Center featuring images of monarch butterflies as part of her Migrating Mural series to bring attention to declining species.
