This year’s highlights include:

-New! Caterpillar Clamber & Nature Playscape - Slip into your stripes and wiggle your way through a nature playscape in a monarch race to milkweed!
-Lights Out! Bird City Maze – Fly as a bird on a night time migratory journey in an 1800 sq ft maze to explore how lights impact our feathered friends.
-Monarch Migration Obstacle Course – Experience the monarch migration as a butterfly as you metamorphosize and overcome fun, interactive challenges.
-Hands-On Learning – Visit 40+ booths provided by local non-profits, educators, artists, and scientists with fun, educational activities
-People as Pollinators Experiment – Bee-come a pollinator, go through metamorphosis, and learn how essential YOU are to the ecosystem.
-Monarch Tagging – Become a citizen scientist and help track monarch migration by placing harmless stickers on monarch butterflies.
-Critter Collective- Follow your curiosity and engage with Litter Bugs, the Pollinator Posse, and more to learn about how you can actively make positive change in our ecosystem.
Whether you're here to learn, play, tag butterflies, or simply enjoy a beautiful day outdoors, there's something for everyone. Let’s celebrate a decade of pollinator magic—together. See you at the park!
