Lookout Mountain Nature Center (LMNC) staff and volunteer naturalists inspire kids and adults to connect with the natural world. Interactive exhibits take visitors on a tour of the flora and fauna of the foothills ecosystem. Kids enjoy a hands-on play room and observation room.

The Nature Center offers free naturalist-led programs in every season for individuals, families, and schools and groups. Visitors can also enjoy a walk through the nature preserve while visiting. The 110-acre Nature Preserve offers nature trails that are open to the public one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. Beaver Brook Trail is a challenging hiker-only trail connecting Clear Creek Canyon Park, Denver Mountain Parks Genesee Mountain Park, and Windy Saddle Park.
