Taylor Park Wetland – September 12th

The Weird World of Cave Creatures

Deep below the earth… in the openings of the rock itself… live some very peculiar creatures. From eyeless fish to colonies of bats, we're exploring the weird world of cave creatures through games, crafts, and more. 

It’s a Rainforest Weekend!

We're exploring the tropical rainforest today! From the forest floor to the emergent trees, we'll craft our way through the different layers of the forest and what calls it home. Join us in making a mural and explore jungle life close up.

Registration is for one child with an adult. Adult must stay for the duration — this is not a drop-off program.

Lions, Tigers, and Bears – Oh My!

Follow the yellow brick road all the way to Austin Gardens where we’re learning about some of our favorite animals! What do these three predators have in common? How are they different? What do they eat, and what do they feel like? Make art and play games with us to find out!
