What a diamond in the woods (see what I did there?). This place has quickly become a family…read morefavorite with our boys old enough to enjoy 4 & 2. The options of what they can do here is plentiful and it's all free. Want to hear more? Good I thought you would. First of all, the staff is great with the kids and want them to have an enjoyable time, so they do this by providing them with endless unique opportunities. What unique opportunities, great question, here are the opportunities provided. You've got the cave (kids get to crawl in a man made cave and escape via a slide). Legacy of the land to the play area in the Legacy of the people (see what life was like and play house from the time before electricity). Curiosity corner (games, books, replies & snakes all in a themed room) or the Raptor Walkway (see the bald eagle Orion, or a hawk, vulture or owl) to the really cool outdoor play area that is not your typical playground, but very nature minded. There are endless programs during the week, you even get a chance to feed the raptors every Saturday. look here: https://www.montgomeryparks.org/parks-and-trails/rock-creek-regional-park/meadowside-nature-center/programs/, this place has so much more than you would ever expect. The boys can't stop talking about going back.

This place so such a treasure for kids. We really loved the outdoor play space, the indoor wildlife…read morehabitat exhibit complete with cave and slide, and the pioneer exhibit. My kids played for a long time with all the early American toys. I do wish they would keep things like the indoor wildlife exhibit up a bit more. I'm sad the turtle habitat has been abandoned for traditional aquaria. It added a real wow factor to that exhibit that complemented the taxidermy. Still they have some great terraria with reptiles. The bird feeders definitely needed filling up too, but we did get to see a beautiful Cooper's hawk perched in a tree while we checked out the raptor exhibit. This place is a bit of a hidden gem. If you have children between 2 and 10 you should definitely pay this place a visit. Older kids will love it too if they are into nature. Thanks Meadowside. We'll be back!

I've now gone a couple of times and I'd recommend anyone looking to do something fun to come here!…read moreI did the Treetop Adventure both times and was pleased with my experience. The entire experience probably took me 2 hours to get through both times. There are a total of 6 sites to go through filled with ziplines, ropes courses and obstacles. After going through the orientation and the first site walk through, you're pretty much on your own! There are instructors walking around monitoring from a distance but that's all. I like that there are water stations at the beginning of each site. The instructors are all friendly and helpful. Like I said, I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone interested in doing something fun!

Many other parks require entrance fees and the space is half of what Olney offers. Inside there are ample benches for humans to sit and relax. Plus a pavilion to offer up some shade too. There are trees throughout, and little signs; perfect to entertain the dogs. Plus an added bonus of a doggy play ramp as well. They hosted a kick off event, with Rivermist Pet Lodge, handing out free dog swag and giving a great opportunity to socialize your pooches, which really showed a community feel.

I like this park. New puppy parent here. I was very nervous with socialization…read morebecause..well....let's honest....not everyone's dogs are as well mannered as they think. I'll be honest and say I am still working on my pup....but he is a pup. Good space to run around and plenty of nice people to talk to. I like that they have a separate area for bigger dogs. I did have another small dog bite down on my puppy here and made him yelp... not once but twice. The pet and owner left after the second time. I would def go back but perhaps when fewer dogs are there.
