Park after Dark

Step into the park after the sun goes down and discover a whole new world that comes alive at night! Listen for owls, watch for bats, and explore the sights and sounds of the evening. Bring a lawn chair or blanket as we enjoy the Park after Dark. Don’t forget your binoculars and a flashlight; we will have red cellophane to cover the white lights so our eyes can adjust. 

4:30-6:30 Nocturnal animals and astronomy stations to explore at your own pace.

4:30-5:30 We will have S’mores around the campfire. One per guest.

5:30-6:30 Campfire Stories
