Programs & Tours

Summer Programs

If traveling is not an option, view our programs that can come to you.

All programs must be reserved at least a week in advance. Indoor accommodations may be available in the event of inclement weather depending on group size. You are welcome to have a picnic style lunch at our picnic tables near our Waterfowl Pond.

It is very important that you arrive on time. Be aware that the preferred time of your program is your start time, not your arrival time. We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the time you have chosen to start your program.  If you are late it may be necessary to shorten the time of your program to accommodate your trip back and our staffing schedules.  Please take your travel time into consideration when scheduling your program.
