Nature Tots
2025 Seasonal Nature Tots
Nature Tots
This outdoor toddler & adult program includes stories, songs, duck feeding, and a stroll through our gardens and trails. The route is stroller accessible and the program is breastfeeding friendly. See our "What to Bring" section below.
Nature Tots is ideal for little ones who are around 1 year up to 5 years old. Many adults bring babies who are under 1, and enjoy their time for adults to socialise and spend time in nature together.
Your Drop-In fee will cover 1 adult and 1 child. Additional adults and children in your family are subject to Add-On fees. Payments are taken at our Visitor Services Desk upon your arrival. There is no fee for babies under the age of 1 who are attending with an older sibling.

| 1 Session | $15 | $10 | $4 |

2025 Season Pass Holders receive a 10% discount on all Nature Tot Session purchases.
Session passes CAN be transferable, but must be used in the 2025 season. This means, that if a mom isn't able to attend with her child, she is able to send another guardian along in her place. Or, she could send a friend with their own child along in their place.
The program runs rain or shine, but may be cancelled in extreme weather. If we have to cancel more than 3 sessions in the 2025 Season, we will offer a pro-rated refund for anyone who purchased the Full 2025 Season: 18 Sessions of Nature Tots.
Offered for two time slots on Fridays:
9:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Your session passes are valid for any of the days/times. The theme will be the same for all sessions each week, so the intention is that you visit no more than once per week.

We always listen to the requests of patrons, so if you would like to suggest another day or time of day we should hold this program please email us at bgprograms@mun.ca. We need a minimum number of registrants to make a program financially viable for us but if we collect your names and find we have enough we will do our best to hold a program at that time!
Necessary:
- a snack and drink for your child(ren)
- appropriate clothing for the weather
Optional:
- a stroller for children who are not comfortable walking for the duration of the program
- if you are not comfortable using ours: a blanket, bummer, or kneeling pad to sit on during story/snack time
