Description:
Our Nature at Night is even more eggs-citing than usual!
Register for our 5th Annual Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt! This year, we have the choice of the short loop or the long 1/2 mile loop.
This registration is for the shorter path. The 7:30 time slot will just be starting to get dark. Start time is estimated- we wait for groups of 6 hunters to send through woods at once.
Hunters will collect glow eggs of a designated color along the unlit wooded path around Lakeside Nature Center. Turn in the collected eggs for a goodie bag filled with candy! You will also enjoy a talk with our Staff Naturalist about animals that lay eggs!
All ages are welcome to join in the hunt, but recommended for ages 3 to adult. It will be dark and we will walk through the woods. Ages 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Program will be held outside, with a walk through the woods, so dress accordingly. In case of bad weather, program will be cancelled and an account credit will be given, to be use for future programs.
Pre-registration extended through March 31. If registration is full, sign up for the waitlist and you will be contacted in the case of a spot opening up due to a cancellation.
Available spots: Available
Price: $8.00 Taxes waived
Required age: Over 4 years old on the day of the activity
Notes: Cost is $8 per hunter. Each hunter must be pre-registered. Adults that are accompanying a child do not need to register separately, unless you would like to join in the hunt as well! Register for your choice of long or short path. Times are estimated but spaced to shorten wait times. There is a short break between every 6 hunters to reset eggs. In the case of bad weather, an email will be sent and decision made at that time to cancel with full refund or reschedule to another date.
