John Janzen Nature Centre is located in the heart of Edmonton’s River Valley, one of the longest urban stretches of Aspen Parkland in North America (7,400 hectares), located along the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. Visitors of all ages can explore and appreciate nature in an urban setting all year-round through our hands-on programs, events, demonstrations, and exhibits. Our newly-renovated space also includes the Tegler Discovery Zone, where children can engage in imaginative nature play!
