-Lights Out! Bird City Maze – Fly as a bird on a night time migratory journey in an 1800 sq ft maze to explore how lights impact our feathered friends.
-Monarch Migration Obstacle Course – Experience the monarch migration as a butterfly as you metamorphosize and overcome fun, interactive challenges.
-Hands-On Learning – Visit 40+ booths provided by local non-profits, educators, artists, and scientists with fun, educational activities
-People as Pollinators Experiment – Bee-come a pollinator, go through metamorphosis, and learn how essential YOU are to the ecosystem.
-Monarch Tagging – Become a citizen scientist and help track monarch migration by placing harmless stickers on monarch butterflies.
-Critter Collective- Follow your curiosity and engage with Litter Bugs, the Pollinator Posse, and more to learn about how you can actively make positive change in our ecosystem.
