Looking for a chance to perfect your mud pie? Not bugged by bugs? Or maybe fossils or feathers tickle your fancy. Either way, you will have a BLAST(-off) at one (or all!) of our summer events.
Celebrate our Summer Event days with educator-lead programs, hands on drop in activities, and community partners!
Feeling bird-brained? That’s a good thing at Feather Fest! Join us to spy frequent flyers, use tools to simulate birds’ eating habits, practice your warbles, and meet a favorite feathered friend. Discover the fascinating world of birds on this day of avian adventure!
