Adapted for the Night Hike *RSVP REQUIRED*
Sat, October 25, 2025
Eyes that shine, ears that hear, join us to explore the wild after dark...if you dare!
As the sun sets and darkness falls, the forest comes alive. Join us for a 1-hour guided night hike to uncover how animals are adapted for the night. From glowing eyes to ultrasonic hearing, you’ll learn how nocturnal creatures thrive in the dark.
We'll explore real nocturnal adaptations through interactive stops, quiet listening moments, and hands-on fun designed to awaken your senses to the night world. This program is designed for people aged 8 and up.
