Jerome "Buddie" Ford Nature Center

This nature center was awesome. They have great displays and activities for the kids. It is a bit more spacious and less crowded than some other nature centers we've been to in Fairfax county. I didn't expect them to, but when my son asked if he could pet one of the snakes, a member of the staff pulled out a snake and let him pet it. My kids have been begging to go back. The nature trail behind the building goes down the hill to the river. There is a walking trail there too.
