The center offers visitors scheduled naturalist-led nature walks, exhibits, and hands-on learning opportunities. It also hosts a naturalist-based preschool. The center promotes Riverside Citizen Science, engaging the community in observing and documenting the local environment to foster appreciation for urban natural spaces.

For group visits, the center provides free educational programming. Reservations are required for groups of 25 or more students and are suggested for groups of more than five students. Scheduled visits include a guided hike and a lesson on topics such as avian raptors, native and invasive species, large mammals, food chains and webs, and tracking. Reservations should be made at least a month in advance.
