Nature Tots
2023 Seasonal Nature Tots
Nature Tots
This toddler & adult program includes stories, songs, duck feeding (tentative due to avian flu), and a stroll through our gardens and trails. This is an outdoor program. The trail is stroller accessible and the program is breastfeeding friendly.
This program is ideal for little ones who are walking (~1yr) up to 5 years old.
Nature Tots sessions are available as a drop-in program. Payments can be made at the door for $15, or you are able to purchase Nature Tots session passes online, as a single session, five sessions, or 15 sessions.
Session passes CAN be transferable, but must be used in the 2023 season. The program runs rain or shine, but may be cancelled in extreme weather.
Offered for three time slots:
Friday Morning: 10:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.
Friday Afternoon: 1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
Saturday Morning: 10:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.
Your session passes are valid for any of the days/times. The theme will be the same for Fri/Sat each week, so the intention is that you visit no more than once per week.
