There is almost nothing more peaceful than a evening walk at the Crane Estate, and we would like to invite your family to join us for a unique hiking experience. With the full moon rising over the Atlantic, we’ll start with a sunset stroll along Crane Beach admiring this spectacle before heading into the dunes to explore its trails under the light of the full moon. This is a great opportunity to get the kids outside, share the joys of nature at twilight, and bond with your family.
CraneExplorer events are designed to appeal to the little ones* while giving their parents a great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Crane Estate. These hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look, listen, and learn from our CraneOutdoors guides. Not just a walk in the woods, these family-friendly experiences teach kids and delight adults by exploring the wonder of our coastal habitats and the rich history of the Crane Estate. Family pricing is for one group of approximately 4 people. If you are bringing 6 or more, please purchase additional tickets. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

*The "little ones" typically means children ages 5-12. Please be aware that we do walk the full two hours and cover approximately 2-3 miles. As such, parental discretion on your child's ability to manage this activity is advised. If you have questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Bring water and dress for the weather to maximize comfort. You are welcome to bring a flashlight or headlamp, but we may ask for moments of total darkness to fully enjoy the moon and the shadows it makes on the dunes.

Registration closes 24 hours before the start of the event and we will not be able to accommodate walk-ins or on-site sales.
