Event Details
Join us to play and learn with TBZ’s very own
Family Nature Club!
Nature play is playing WITH nature, not just IN nature, and is a great way to interact with nature no matter your experience level or play style. Run, climb, build, dig, or even just sit and experience the sounds, smells, and sights of the outdoors. Family Nature Club (FNC) will visit different nature locations within the Essex County South Mountain Reservation each month.
See below for more details about Family Nature Club and what it’s all about. Family Nature Club does not include zoo admission. Family Nature Club does not always meet at TBZ; you will receive detailed instructions if we plan to not meet at the zoo.
