Wildlife Buddies: Turtles!

Wildlife Buddies: Turtles is a nature program designed for the youngest explorers and their caregivers. Your little one will dive into turtle-themed activities that include a story, hands-on learning materials, and a craft or activity. You'll also take a short guided hike together to explore the day's theme, and if weather cooperates, wrap up with free play in the Nature Nook. The program combines indoor and outdoor time, so dress your child (and yourself) for the weather you encounter. Registration is required for everyone, including infants, and closes at noon the day before the program. Pricing is straightforward: non-members pay $10 per child (ages 1+) and $5 per adult, while members pay $5 per child and nothing for adults. Babies under 12 months are free. Every registered child must have a registered adult present. The program targets kids ages 1–4, though older siblings are welcome if they're comfortable with a slower pace. Check in at the Visitor Center's front desk when you arrive.
