We took a break from posting weekend previews while we took an extended trip out west, but we’re back and excited about what there is to do back home in Georgia! Here’s a sample, and there’s more on our event calendar at http://georgiakidsoutdoors.com/events/.
Wild Cave Tours, Cloudland Canyon State Park – Guides will educate you on cave formations, bats, and geology while your family has fun getting muddy and wet climbing and crawling your way through a wild cave.
Bugs, Bugs, Bugs! Birdsong Nature Center – Go on an exploratory nature hike with an invertebrate zoologist and his son that will provide insight into the abundance, diversity, habits and ecology of some of the bugs that occur at Birdsong and probably in your backyard. We will capture a variety of them, hopefully including dung beetles, and examine them close up.
Discovery Stations, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Gainesville location – A variety of informal educational stations showcase different topics on the Garden’s natural environment. Find out about other children’s programs at this and other botanical gardens around Georgia in our recent blog post.
Water Wonders, F.D. Roosevelt State Park – Drop by and dip in to see what inhabitants live in our lakes. We provide nets, viewing scopes, and lots of interesting discoveries.
And don’t forget that during the summer, there are more weekday options, too, so check out our event calendar for ideas if you need to get away from the screens! The Life in the Tidal Creeks program at Skidaway Island State Park has us tempted to make an impromptu beach trip….
