The Leslie Science & Nature Center is a natural space that consists of trails, birds of prey and raptor enclosures, a critter house, and much more. The family of Dr. Eugene and Emily Leslie donated their home and the surrounding land to the city of Ann Arbor in 1976. The Leslies asked that the house and land be used to help educate children.

The center offers many programs for children including field trips, Girl Scout and Cub Scout visits, overnight visits, and outreach programs that are led by staff and take place at schools. The center also hosts summer camps and school break camps.
