Event Details
Come play and learn together in nature as a family with TBZ’s new nature club, Nature Adventurers!
Worried you or your kids don’t spend enough time outside or together? Join us as we harness the power of gaming to get families up and moving while exploring and learning about local nature and conservation. There’s something for everybody- teens and adults are invited and encouraged to join in the fun, not just little ones!
Each ticket includes a Family Nature Club water bottle.
Where to Go
**NOTE THIS LOCATION MAY CHANGE BUT WILL BE IN A NEARBY AREA** We will meet at the entrance to the Cherry Lane fields and forest, which are directly across from the Regatta Playground at the South Mountain Reservoir. Look for the Nature Adventurer’s sign and your Nature Play Leader, who will be wearing a green shirt and blue backpack!
Who Should Come
Event starts at 1pm and lasts up to 2 hours. We request attendees arrive 10 minutes prior (12:50pm) at the Berson Education Center lobby, then we will walk to a nearby natural area as a group. We will not be entering the zoo.

What Not to Bring
