The Audubon Naturalist Society Woodend Sanctuary has managed to maintain a completely natural and exquistely private retreat near a busy commercialized area. You'll never know that you are so near stores and residential homes! Go for a walk at dusk and you'll see lots of animals! I love the peace and quiet there. The Woodend Mansion is a delightful site for weddings and other happy events.

Out of Towners might not realize this Nature Center is tucked in behind the Glenview Mansion grounds. The "mini zoo" and displays are in a relaxing setting and are an excellent way for natives and weary tourist to unwind.

Meadowside is one of my kids’ favorite places to go! There are several hiking trails that are easy enough for children, a fun, themed outdoor play area, an indoor crawl-through cave, indoor play areas, and several species of animals to look at. Our favorites are the birds of prey that are cared for at Meadowside. We’ve been able to visit during feeding time and enrichment time several times now and the keepers do a great job explaining what they’re doing and engaging the audience. There’s so much to do here and it’s a beautiful spot to just take in nature.

McKee Bershers is totally worth a trip and it’s free. You feel like you’re in France and in a Monet painting. It’s off River Road in Poolsville/Potomac, MD. follow the map that’s on McKee website, there are no signs that point to the 3 sunflower fields. You can also check the condition of the flowers on the website so that you don’t make the trek If they haven’t fully bloomed due to rain or wilt at the end of the season.

Being such a spectacular view, it obviously attracts many people. Far better than the Virginia side in my opinion, it is best seen at crack of dawn or sunset. Frigid temps keep crowds away, as do inclement mornings, but those are precisely when the river and overlook is most dramatic!

Roos2u is a place like no other, where you can meet and interact with the most fascinating animals on the planet: kangaroos and wallabies! What makes our facility so unique? It is not like your average zoo visit. You actually get to go behind the scenes and interact with these critters! Visitors will enjoy bottle feeding, handing out treats, countless photo ops and even holding a joey!
Our visit to Roos2u was magical. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable about the animals and were very friendly and enthusiastic. We had the opportunity to hold and pet a joey (baby kangaroo), bottle-feed wallabies and red kangaroos, hand-feed giant rabbits, pet emus, and hand-feed cavys. As far as animal encounters go, this one was more intimate than many others I've enjoyed in the past including dolphins, owls, manatees, penguins, beluga whales, and other encounters. It is a truly hidden gem!
