Rentals

Millbrook Marsh is currently undergoing it's Phase II expansion project. This will more than double the square footage of the existing Spring Creek Education Building—expanding the capacity to host educational community programs and provide space for meeting groups and special events. The Education Building is unavailable until the end of the project. 

Millbrook Marsh Nature Center is a beautiful location to host your party, company retreat, baby shower, and more. All building rentals have access to restrooms and wireless internet, and your guests are welcome to roam the grounds and walk the trails. All rentals must adhere to Nature Center Policies.

For more information, including pricing and capacities, please see the Rental Brochure and Rental FAQ.

Alcoholic beverages are permitted inside the Spring Creek Education Building and Barn only; renters must obtain an alcohol permit from the Nature Center. Please see the full Alcohol Policy for permit fees and requirements.

All proposed activities must conform to the lease agreement with Pennsylvania State University, the ClearWater Conservation Easement, College Township ordinances, CRPR Authority regulations, and agreements with Nature Center partner groups. View the Tent Policy.
