Young explorers (ages 7 to 12) can sweep their dip nets through the shallows, dig for ghost shrimp and clams, explore up close with aquariums and microscopes, and wander the interpretation stations buzzing with discovery. Curious about freshwater life, too? There will be pond dipping with a plant and bug spotting on the freshwater side.
Bring your sense of wonder (and your water shoes). Parents and guardians, please plan to explore right alongside your young naturalist. Don’t forget your sunblock, hats, and water too!
