Great place for all ages. Paved paths for wheelchairs or strollers. Trails too. Nature playground.
Laura GouldAug 1, 2026My first time here and went specifically to see their Red Trillium. I was ecstatic, as I winded up finding them on the Ravine trail which was a nice work out. I went a little too early in the Spring season as not much had emerged, except a few Trillium and Virginia Bluebells. I would wait till the 2nd or 3rd week in April, as I bet the wildflowers are much more in bloom.
Mary M.Apr 12, 2026A beautiful local nature museum, hiking trails & education center! We came for a short hike over the holiday weekend and enjoyed ourselves! Many different hikes to choose from flat, moderate to hard. It's definitely a nice option when we're ready for a nice hike in our neighborhood!
ShellyNov 27, 2023Every Science teacher in Philadelphia should be taking advantage of this amazing local resource! Talk about the ultimate field trip! My fifth graders had an amazing, informative and super-engaging experience. Field trips are lead by a team of expert environmental educators who have created a curriculum that is incredibly thoughtful, fun and standards-aligned. There are programs for all ages, K-12. (Preschool too!) Available topics include sustainability, ecosystems, trees, soil and many more! Grant funding was available for my Title I school, making the trip completely free! The Center is also open to the public year-round! The folks at The Schuylkill Center are absolute pros! Each person has their own expertise and specialty; they were all so knowledgeable! Our bus was met by the staff at the Welcome Center. After bathroom and water breaks, they did a circle-up to go over expectations. We separated into small groups and cycled through four stations over the course of the morning, hiking from one station to another. After lunch at the pavilion, we hiked as a group to the Forest Free Play area, which is an awesome pine grove that is set up for tree climbing, fort building and general exploring. The kids had an absolute BLAST! It was so fun! Shoutout to Teachers Sam, Sky, Jason, Declan, Amelia and all of the hardworking folks who are so dedicated to preserving a true Philadelphia Treasure! Can't wait to come back!
P HNov 2, 2023I've been taking hikes here at this Schuylkill center for years now and it just keeps getting better!! They've added several trails and ponds I have had a few run-ins with ground bees in the previous Summers but no injuries thank goodness 🐝 I definitely recommend stopping by this Google center and taking a nice walk it's great in any season!

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION?
- No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.
Does THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION accept child care subsidy?
- Yes. THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION holds a subsidy agreement with the state. The agreement covers these age groups: Preschool, School-age. An agreement means the provider can bill the subsidy programme, not that a funded place is free today. Eligibility is decided by your Early Learning Resource Center, Early Learning Resource Center for Region 18.
Does this page show inspection results for THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION?
- No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
