Get your feet wet with a family-friendly beach exploration at the Jensen-Olson Arboretum on Saturday, May 11 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. This free event, organized by Friends of the Jensen-Olson Arboretum in partnership with Parks & Recreation, will take place during low tide, offering the perfect chance to see the beach habitat in action. Participants will rotate between science stations for opportunities to learn about marine life living between high & low tides, and many more hands-on learning and observational opportunities.
This program is geared toward children ages 6-12 and their families. Please keep in mind that all children must be accompanied by an adult.
Admission is free but registration is required; space is limited to 20 children. Registration opens online through the Parks & Rec registration catalog (click the “Youth & Teen” tab) on Friday, May 3 at noon.
