Celebrate
Science Month In The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden at The
New York Botanical Garden
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.
Ongoing Activities This Spring at the Everett Children’s Adventure
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.
Special
Weekends
In conjunction
with our on-going programs we offer at the Everett Children’s
Adventure Garden, we also have special weekends in May for families
that include:
Sensational Science Month - Every Weekend in May
It is all about sensational science this month in the Everett
Children’s Adventure Garden. Find out what kinds of things plant
scientists do at the New York Botanical Garden! Children will
explore what it means to be plant scientists as they:
Create plant presses and press flowers
Dissect flowers
Make microscope slides
Craft their own botany field notebooks for sketching
The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden has been made possible
by the leadership generosity of Edith and Henry Everett.
