Cost
$5 per child

Spring is a time of the year when we encounter baby wild animals. They are small and cute, but do we really know about baby wildlife and the strategies wild parents use to care for them?  Enjoy a snack and stay after the program to explore the park and socialize.

Cost for this event is $5.00 per person for children ages 3 and over and covers your park entry fee. Accompanying adults and children under 3 are free -- children under 3 do not need a reservation. 

Please meet at the Loess Hills Lodge Bluestem Room at 10 a.m. 

These programs are delivered in a small-group, mostly outdoor guided format and are designed for elementary students in kindergarten through early high school.

PLEASE NOTE:  Students 10 years of age and under must be accompanied by an adult. An option for unaccompanied students age 11 and older will be offered. Please help us plan age-appropriate curriculum by completing the birthdate information when registering. For questions not answered online please call 712-545-3283.
