Naturalist Programs:
AGES 4—11
Outdoor Nature I Spy (Ages 4—6)
Birthday guests will be given a page of seasonally appropriate pictures of natural items, plants, and animals. A Quarry Hill naturalist will lead guests on a hike to find the things pictured on the page. Guests will not gather nature items on this hunt; they will observe and mark them like a bingo card.
Wild Things (Ages 4—11)
The birthday child and guests will have an up-close encounter with your choice of 2 resident Quarry Hill animals, with opportunities to hold or touch them.
Choose from: frog, salamander, toad, turtle, snake, or hissing cockroach.
Naturalist led time also includes feeding the fish in the large aquarium.
