Fantastic Fall Festivities in Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, NY Botanical Garden

This fall surround yourself with the orange, yellow, and red leaves of the trees in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden and experience the beauty and excitement of nature in the one-of-a-kind, 12-acre indoor/outdoor science museum where children can explore, discover and learn how plants live and function. There are so many things to do–from ballet dancing to building scarecrows. Participate in our specially designed inquiry-based programs that stimulate a child’s enthusiasm for science, ecology and conservation.

ONGOING ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES
Tuesday, Sundays and Monday holidays: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Throughout the season, children dissect plant parts such as seeds and flowers, experiment to find out if plants make sugar to use as food, investigate bugs that help plants grow, use microscopes to see plants up close, press flowers and plants to take home, and much more. We encourage children to explore, examine, inquire and question just like scientists. A few of the many things children discover include, what’s in a flower by taking it apart and putting it back together — and children have an opportunity to look at things through a bee’s eye view!

Budding Botanists Every Tuesday–Friday, 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
Join us for activities specially designed for the early learner (2-5 year olds). Nature crafts featuring recyclables and experiments abound. Using washed juice boxes, milk cartons, soda bottles, or egg cartons create an instrument, garden pet, or experiment to take home. Activities change regularly and are complemented with a colorful story each week. Drop in!

September

Ballet Among the Blooms–Saturday, September 21, 3 - 5 p.m.
