The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden Celebrates Spring!

This spring visit the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden and discover why plants love spring almost as much as we do! The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden is a 12-acre indoor/outdoor interactive museum where kids can have hands-on fun and learn about plants, science, and the natural world.

Spring at the Garden

Ages 2 – 12, Weekend and Monday holidays 10a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

All throughout the season, children dissect plant parts like bulbs and flowers, experiment to find out if plants make sugar, investigate bugs that help plants grow, use microscopes to see plants up close, press flowers and plants to take home, and much more. Children also discover what’s in a flower by taking apart and putting together a giant flower — and children have an opportunity to look at things through a bee’s eye view!

Ages 2 – 5, Tuesday-Friday: 1:30 p.m.-3 p.m.; Weekends and Monday holidays: 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Budding Botanist Early Learner Activities include nature discovery, crafts, mini nature walks, storytime, and music making. Pasting, painting, planting, and playing engage the senses in indoor and outdoor galleries. Find a baby plant in a seed and take away your Garden memento to share with the folks at home.
