Explore. Educate. Connect.
The Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center is located 30 miles northeast of St. Paul, Minnesota near historic Marine on St. Croix. The oldest private nature center in Minnesota, Warner features over 600 acres of undeveloped woodland, marsh, lake, bog and grasslands. Within the Trailside Museum, visitors can learn about our public natural history programs, learn how to become a volunteer or Friend of Warner, and experience the Hidden Wonders of Warner, our brand-new interactive, hands-on education exhibits.
Fall Color Blast
Sunday, October 5, 1-5 p.m.
No registration is required
Join us for this exciting fall celebration for all ages—our annual open house! Come out to enjoy Warner Nature Center's forests and bog, canoe on Lake Terrapin, ride on our solar-powered pontoon boat, the Water Strider, watch a puppet show, and enjoy some tasty fall treats! Bring along your camera to capture the beautiful fall colors.
We have continually had over 600 people attending this event so if parking fills up, we will ask you to park at the May Town Hall south of the nature center on Norell Avenue. Warner will provide a shuttle service at no charge. Please come to the Warner gate first to see if off-site parking is necessary. FREE (all ages).
