2013 Spring Break Safari Week!
Explore nature with us March 11 - 15!

Join us as we celebrate Spring Break in Garden Style! Activities are free with paid garden admission and are geared toward all ages. Remember that Tuesdays are always free (Butterfly House exhibit is regular admission).

For each activity listed below, the activity starts on the hour and lasts about 30 minutes. Please make sure you arrive at the activity site a little before the hour, so you don't miss anything. Crafts are come-and-go between 11 am and 3:30 pm. If we run out of materials for a specific craft, we'll substitute it with something just as fun!
