Free Outdoor Fun to Soak Up Spring

Nature Walks & Exploratory Play at Harriet Alexander Nature Center

Get outside and celebrate the early signs of spring at Harriet Alexander Nature Center. This hidden gem features peaceful boardwalk trails winding through marshes and wetlands where kids can spot birds, turtles, and other wildlife. Bring binoculars or a nature scavenger hunt list to turn the walk into an adventure.

Before or after your walk, step inside the Interpretive Center for even more hands-on discovery. The exhibit space is designed for kids to explore nature through play and curiosity, featuring a large, life-like tree and interactive displays that explore local wildlife. Kids can engage in imaginative play at a pretend campsite, put on a show in the puppet theater using animal puppets, and learn about native species through live animal ambassadors and artifacts. The center also includes a reference library filled with field guides and nature resources, making it a great place for curious kids (and adults) to dive deeper into the natural world. Best of all, it’s completely free to visit.
