Mordecai children's garden
The Children’s Garden offers a place to play, explore and discover every spring, summer and fall. Because the natural environment constantly changes, no two visits in this magical 3-acre oasis will be alike.
While exploring the Children’s Garden, young naturalists will have the opportunity to:
- Learn unique characteristics of plants living in the Rooftop Alpine Garden
- Discover how plants and animals live together on Marmot Mountain
- Race pinecones down Springmelt Stream next spring
- Hunt for bugs in the Glorious Grasslands and observe aquatic life at Pipsqueak Pond
- Enjoy a story and pretend to be a favorite character on Sagebrush Stage
NEW! Dig into Nature with Digger
Awaken your senses as you take a spring walk outside. Enjoy this scavenger hunt--listen for birds chirping in the trees and smell the fresh scent of the earth as you hunt for signs of spring.- Seeds are little but they sure are mighty. Have you ever wondered how a little seed grows into a big beautiful plant? Discover the secret life of bean seeds!
