About
Little Wonders is a nature enrichment and early literacy program for children 18 months to 4 years old accompanied a caregiver (additional guests pay admission fee). Outdoor exposure benefits humans in so many ways, yet, we do not spend nearly enough time outside. This is especially true for our little ones who desperately need meaningful opportunities for nature play and exploration.
