About this Event

How do animals get ready for winter? How do they stay warm when it's cold outside? What do they eat? Will they stay in Virginia or travel somewhere else for the winter? Get answers to all your pressing wintertime animal questions as you work through crafts, stories, and activities.


Junior Naturalist Series: Join us at Blandy for a morning of fun and learning this fall with our new Junior Naturalist series! These programs are designed to help caregivers and kiddoes ages 1-6 explore the natural world together.

We're hosting "drop in"-style programs from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM on the third Wednesday of every month September-December. Come when you like, stay for as long as you like, and work through activity stations at your own pace.

For individual families only. Organized preschool and homeschool groups should contact Blandy's pre-K-12 Education Department to learn more about their excellent school program offerings.

Free program, RSVPs appreciated. Donations happily accepted onsite or online.


What to expect: Self-paced stations, complete as many or as few as you like.

Who can come: This program is designed for children 6 and under with their caregiver/s. Maximum of 3 children per adult. Minors must be accompanied by a caregiver for the duration of the program. No pets, please.

What to bring: Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. If you like, bring a snack or lunch and enjoy a picnic on Blandy’s grounds during or after the program.

Where to meet: Meet in the outdoor amphitheater by the Quarters building. Signs will direct you from the front parking lot near the flagpole and information kiosk to the amphitheater.
