Each weekend, young children can learn about and explore animals and the natural world through creative, free-choice activity stations. Dig for horseshoe crabs in the sand table, make lunch for a bird in the mud kitchens, and enjoy storytime.

Little Critters Nature Play is designed with early learners in mind, but all ages are welcome. Parents and guardians must remain with their children.
