Liberty State Park Nature Center Re-Opens After 9 Years

JERSEY CITY, NJ — After nine years of closed doors, the Liberty State Park Nature Center celebrated its official reopening on Wednesday.

The center is free to the public and now open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Masks and social distancing are still required.

The center and its new exhibits will be open and were designed with schools and students in mind. The Nature Discovery Room is made so that preschool students can participate in hands-on activities learning about the forest and nature.
