Event details
This ongoing event will be held from Saturday, July 1, to Sunday, July 30. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays to Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.
Get outside this summer and take on a few nature challenges! Start at the nature center by picking up your spinner card from the front desk and then head to the play area or take a hike spinning along the way. Spin to see which challenge to do first. Challenges include searching for items, rolling logs, acting like animals and more. Spin a few times or spin 10 times. Each card will be randomized and have different activities, so the fun can continue during multiple visits. When you are all challenged out, come back to the front desk for a reward.
