Nature Story Time 6/20/2026

About This Program

Families with children ages 3–7 are invited to settle in for a nature-themed story and a surprise visit from one of Tenafly Nature Center’s Animal Ambassadors. Each month brings a brand-new tale and a different animal friend to meet. Will it be a curious turtle, a slithery snake, a tiny owl, or maybe even an adventurous hawk? Come find out as we learn their stories and how they came to call TNC home!

This program is intended for families with children ages 3–7. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The program will take place both indoors and outdoors. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

Children must be accompanied by an adult, who may attend for free. This program may take place indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather. 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!
