Free Family Nature Nights is the easiest ways for families to get outside, unplug, and enjoy the city’s natural spaces together.
These evenings are all about simple outdoor fun. Think guided nature walks, hands-on activities for kids, wildlife spotting, campfire stories, and a chance to slow down for a few hours while learning about the local ecosystem from experts.
Family Nature Nights are drop-in events, unless previously mentioned. Plan to arrive early to register to take part in the programming. Programs like the family nature walk, require advance registration. You can find details for each event, below
