Discovery Weekends

Explore the beauty of the Arboretum with your family during this season.

Spring Discovery Weekends return!

(families with children ages 3 and up)

Explore the Arboretum when the gardens and grounds are alive with the sights and sounds of spring! Drop by the Stackhouse Education Center on Saturdays and Sundays anytime between 9 am and 3 pm for this self-guided program for families and children ages 3 and older. Borrow a magnifying glass (please remember to return it once you’re done), grab an interactive activity guide, and head out to see what wonders, big and small, await. There may be a surprise, a clue to follow, a mystery to solve, a chance to create, and always an engaging nature activity. 

Each weekend is a new discovery!
