Cool Summer Nights is a summertime event held on Thursday evenings with extended hours to the Center and special guests such as people bringing animals, spiders, puppets for puppet shows. You never know what surprise is in store for you at this event.
What is there to see and do? First, you can wander the trails of the Nature Center and see migrating birds, butterflies, compost section, and there are all kinds of plants and flowers.
Hang out under the shade of Huntington Beach's redwood grove. Though it is a small grove and the trees aren't as tall as the forest giants of Northern California, standing in the shade of a redwood provides a cool experience on a sunny day.
Finally, wander inside to the touch and feel areas and displays that even adults find interesting and compelling. Then if it moves you, you can join the organization, make a donation or come back again and again to enjoy this treasure in the midst of a 350 acre city-operated forest.
