DINOSAUR ADVENTURE (Ages 4–8)
Just how big was the largest dinosaur on earth? Have a
gigantically fun time finding out as a naturalist takes your
group to the past when these large animals roamed the
earth. Become a paleontologist, handle real fossils, and
create a dino-mite craft!
SEASONAL SUPER SLEUTH BIRTHDAY (Ages 4–6)
Your group will become detectives and assist our naturalist
in looking for answers to nature’s mysteries. Use a magnifying
glass and search for clues of the season. Winter tracks, spring
flowers, summer bugs, and autumn leaves; you never know
what you’ll discover! Visit the animals, create a craft, play
nature games, or go on a nature scavenger hunt.

STALKING AND TRACKING ANIMALS (Ages 7–11)
Look for clues for who’s been where in the woods. Tracks
aren’t the only clues animals leave behind. Discover which
animals leave what signs behind. Make a plaster cast of deer
track, play camouflage games, and sneak up on your party
guests with stalking games.
BUG MANIA BIRTHDAY (Ages 6–11)
A bug’s life will become reality when we examine the
smallest ant to the biggest bug. We’ll meet some other tiny
critters when we explore the forest. Peek inside our beehive,
go on a bug hunt, create a critter, and meet one of our live
bug-eating animals up close. On rainy days we’ll spend more
time exploring the Exhibit Room – it’s full of bug-ology.
Available May through September
POND PARTY (Ages 5–11)
Capture water tigers in your dip net, search for phantom
midges, and look for birds and mammals that live near the
pond. This program is full of exploration for curious kids.
Led by a naturalist, you’ll learn about some of the fantastic
creatures that live in ponds. Meet a salamander or garter
snake and play some nature games.
