Drop-In Programs

Come explore the sights and sounds of the River Valley with our drop-in programs for the whole family! Meet our animals, explore the trails, and find out what plants and animals are doing as we move from spring to summer, and fall to winter. We adapt the programs to meet the ages of the participants, so all are welcome!

Many of our drop-in programs take place outdoors, so please dress for the weather. Adult participation is required when visiting drop-in programming with children.
