Located on the north edge of the Buena Vista Lagoon is the small but fascinating Buena Vista Audubon Society & Nature Center. Inside the center you will find several displays and exhibits that showcase the native plant life and wildlife of the San Diego area. The displays have been crafted to recreate a true representation of natural habitats and contain exhibits of taxidermy and living plants.

Picnic amongst the trees and wildlife and let the children explore. There are two short trails near the Nature Center that are suitable for all levels of fitness and age groups. These trails will offer you many opportunities to catch sight of the lagoon inhabitants.
