These programs are offered every Sunday afternoon, 2-3 p.m. - rain or shine.  

Programs may include: 

Meet the Critters:
Be sure to drop by the classroom at 2 p.m. to meet our critters, including Squirt the red-eared slider turtle, our composting worms and more. Learn all about their far-away native habitats and find out why some of these visitors don’t always make good pets for everyone.

Arts & Crafts:
This program may take place outdoors, depending on the weather. You and your family are invited to create some theme-related crafts, play some games and participate in some fun activities.

Story Time / Puppet Shows:
This program may take place outdoors, depending on the weather. Join our education staff for story time, a sing-a-long or a puppet show.

Nature Hike to Oxen Pond/Duck Feeding:
Education staff will lead you on a leisurely guided stroll along the exploration trail, down to Oxen Pond. While you feed the ducks (food is provided) staff will help you identify and learn about the different waterfowl, insects and other creatures that live on Oxen Pond.
