Santiago Creek ECO Center & Creekside Storytime
Santa Ana, CA
Free, no registration
By Simir Shah
Run by the Santa Ana Zoo inside Santiago Park, the ECO Center is a small creekside nature area with oak and sycamore habitat; the building is currently under renovation. Zoo educators still host a free outdoor Creekside Storytime here on the first and third Monday of each month, with crafts or a mini-hike afterward.
