ECO Kids Discovery Day

Bring your kids to Bernheim Forest and Arboretum for a day of hands-on nature exploration. This free event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and features discovery stations led by volunteer naturalists, pop-up story circles near the Visitor Center, and a guided hike that departs at 2 p.m. (about 45 to 60 minutes long). ECO Kids Discovery Days happen on the first and third Saturday of each month, weather permitting, so there are plenty of opportunities to participate throughout the year. These outdoor days are designed for children of all ages to engage with the natural world and learn from experienced guides and storytellers. It's a great way to spend a few hours outdoors without any admission cost. Just note that the event depends on weather, so you may want to check ahead before heading out.
