The Welcome Center provides a gateway to the Twin Valley, an area of rich natural habitats comprising Twin Creek and Germantown MetroParks, as well as the Upper Twin Conservation Area. The Twin Valley encompasses more than 7,000 acres of protected land, much of it forested. The center will provide orientation to the area, as well as interpretive displays about the spectacular flora and fauna in the valley. Guests will find restrooms, bird viewing and a hiking center for hikers to meet up, get water, use facilities and take shelter from inclement weather. Hiking is extremely popular in the Twin Valley, home to nearly 50 miles of hiking trails, including the Twin Valley Trail.

The Welcome Center includes restrooms, drinking fountain, interpretive information and a bird blind where visitors can learn why so many birds make the Twin Valley their home.

Germantown is designated as an Important Bird Area by National Audubon Society and a Watchable Wildlife viewing site by Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
