The Little Explorers program invites families with children ages two to five to dive into hands-on arts, crafts and nature activities, fostering creativity and a love for the outdoors.
Families are greeted with ever-changing projects and activities. “Specific projects and activities vary, come see what we’re up to this time!” the Gardens encourage.
Each session is uniquely crafted, ensuring returning families experience something new.
There is no additional fee for Little Explorers beyond standard garden admission.
