Earthplace offers innovative, curriculum-based natural history programs designed to supplement your science unit. This is achieved through:
Groups are also welcome to visit Earthplace for self-guided hikes and museum exploration. Please contact the program coordinator so we may accommodate your group’s arrival and use of the building.
Animal Hall and Trail programs are suitable for a maximum of 25 participants. We are capable of running two staffed programs concurrently, so your group may bring up to 50 participants. You may bring additional participants if you choose to do a third or fourth self-guided program. Please call with questions regarding the size of your group.
Programs can be altered to meet the time constraints of the group, but generally programs for pre-K – first grade students run 30-40 minutes, and those for older groups run one hour. Programs involving a hike may also be extended to two hours for an additional fee (see below). We encourage groups traveling to Earthplace to choose several programs. Groups are welcome to bring their lunches and eat at our picnic tables or in the auditorium.
