Blue and You Sensory Garden

Play in the Blue and You Sensory Garden!

Join us on the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 1-2pm in the Blue and You Sensory Garden! We will be hosting outdoor programs designed to cultivate curiosity and wonder of nature that surrounds us every day.  We will explore the world right outside our door, under our feet, and in the sky.  This program is designed for families with younger children but is open to all who wish to cultivate their own curiosity and wonder of the world around.

Nature Play Pop-Ups are free with Zoo admission.
