Children’s Programs
As part of our dual mission to conserve and educate, we offer a multitude of wonderful children’s programs for kids of all ages. Our children’s programs introduce youngsters to nature with hands-on activities, exploration, and interaction with the natural world.
Tyke Hikes (ages 18 months-3yrs)
Encourage your little one’s curiosity with nature and the outdoors. Children 18 months to 3 years, with their adult companions, can join naturalist Laurie Hudson for a nature story reading and stroller-friendly hike on the Arboretum trails. Enjoy a new nature experience each week!
