Retzer Nature Center is located just west of Waukesha, Wisconsin, south of Highway 18 on County Road DT. The exit from the highway and the entrance to the park are well marked.
There is a nature center building with various displays, a small picnic area, and trails throughout this reclaimed farm.
Retzer has numerous trails including some through woods containing a small stream, up to a hillside prairie, and a longer hike down to a large Fen.
Trails are moderate to easy and there is a wheelchair accessible trail as well. Trail maps are available at the trail head.
There are various programs throughout the year including both adult and youth activities.
*A permanent display of various composting techniques is available for the home gardener. An annual sale of native prairie flowers is also held each year.
