Spring Break Adventures: Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center
Spring Break Adventures: Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center
Good Day Atlanta's Paul Milliken is checking out unique spots this week for Spring Break Adventures. Gwinnet Environmental and Heritage Center is part nature center and part museum and has a lot of fun activities.
BUFORD, Ga. - Is it a nature center or a history museum? A peaceful outdoor retreat or a high-energy adventure getaway?
The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center is all of those things, which is why it might just be a perfect spring break destination for your family.
This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent a few hours exploring this unique addition to Gwinnett County’s Parks and Recreation department. Located on 233 acres and surrounded by walking trails and greenways, the center itself was Gwinnett’s first LEED-certified building and houses interactive museum exhibits dedicated to the ways that humans have interacted with the land throughout history.
Canopy walk at Gwinnett Environmental Center
There's a new canopy walk at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center and Paul Milliken is checking it out as part of Spring Break Adventures this week.
The property is also home to Treetop Quest Gwinnett, an aerial adventure park made up of more than 120 obstacles and ziplines through the tree canopy. The adventure is broken up into seven different courses, each targeted at different ages and skill levels; for more information on booking some time in the treetops, click here.
The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center is located at 2020 Clean Water Drive in Buford (near the Mall of Georgia), and center hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays. The surrounding park is open from sunrise to sunset. For more information on available activities at the center, click here.
