Seasonal Scavenger Hunt 7/11/2026

Families with children 4 and up will receive a printed set of clues to independently solve nature riddles along Nature Center trails. Each family will need to work as a team as they hike along the trails to complete the hunt. Check in 1:00-2:00 pm at the Visitors' Center to receive clues. (Scavenger Hunt may be completed at any time.) 

Children must be accompanied by an adult, who may attend for free. Children under 2 are always FREE! This program will take place outdoors. For your convenience, strollers can be parked on the porch. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot in advance. We’re excited to have you join us!

• Keep voices and noise low to preserve the tranquility of the trails.
• Carry in, carry out: please take all trash with you.
