We are pleased to announce the expansion of our Natural Sciences Day Program. Previously designed only for Grades 3-5, we now offer a program for Grades K-2!

Natural Sciences Days provide a unique opportunity for school children to experience a “living laboratory” to enhance their learning. The program includes:

• 2 Presentation Stations where local companies and volunteers make grade appropriate theater-style presentations in Life and Earth Sciences
• 2 Investigation Stations where students explore our environment in grade appropriate scavenger hunts to locate natural and man-made adaptations of various plants and trees
• 2 Experimentation Stations where students perform grade appropriate science experiments related to the natural world
• Workbooks for each student provided on arrival (PDF copies available online for teachers’ classroom prep)
• Nature Detective completion certificates for each student with a discount offer to return on a public operating day
• Hot lunch: hot dogs, potato chips, vegetarian spaghetti, fresh cut fruits and water

Natural Sciences Days are educational days; the park is not open to the general public. Select rides will run and one gift shop will be open after the education program concludes. All other restaurants and stores will be closed.
