Nature Lab for Families

For Families

About the Program

Discover how plants, animals, and even tiny creatures all stay connected in nature! In this hands‑on family program, kids can explore different activity stations to learn how living things depend on each other for food, energy, and survival. Through fun experiments, challenges, a scavenger hunt, and interactive games, families will explore who eats what, how energy moves through nature, and why every creature - from bugs to bears - plays an important role.

This drop-in program is designed for all ages and knowledge levels. Just bring your curiosity and get ready to explore how nature works - one connection at a time!

For families with children of all ages and their caregiver.
