Three Great Things to do at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge

By Nate Feldman

The John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge is a nature reserve located in Philadelphia, PA, adjacent to Philadelphia International Airport.  It is an oasis of natural wonders in a highly urbanized area.  Here are some things you can enjoy while spending time there.

1. Walking on Trails

The reserve has a network of trails around the park.

2. Seeing Animals

The park was designed specifically to protect wildlife. 

3. See a Pristine Part of Philadelphia 

Although it is located a short distance from Philadelphia International Airport, something you are reminded of with planes taking off and landing near you, the park itself is an untouched piece of nature in a bustling metropolitan area.
