Nature Tykes, Avon
Children will explore the natural world and have fun with others while developing their sense of place. Topics vary weekly and help children express their inherent wonder and curiosity as little scientists.
- Designed for 6-35 month old children and their adults. Please select tickets for all adults and children in your group.
- Dress for success! Please come prepared to spend an hour outside in a variable environment with warm layers and sun protection. A small snack is also recommended.
- This program is located at Walking Mountains Science Center at 318 Walking Mountains Lane in Avon.
Nature Tykes is a 60-minute program in both indoor and outdoor environments. It may include short periods of walking, sitting, standing, and optional running. The dirt trails are mostly flat but have some small hills. We will be exploring hands-on activities with groups of up to 12 children and their caregivers. If you call ahead, we can modify the program using a short wheelchair-accessible route. Please let us know if you require accommodations.
