Suitable for ages under 6 with caregivers

Join us for a seek and find game as we hike. See how many different items you can discover as we walk approximately one-half mile over rolling sand dunes and learn about the unusual Pine Bush ecosystem along the way. This program will take place entirely outside. The trail is not suitable for most strollers.

Reserve a spot for everyone in your party regardless of age. Masks must be worn by program participants over the age of 2 years old who are unvaccinated for COVID-19.

This program will meet at the wooden and metal kiosk at trailhead #1 (not inside the Discovery Center).
