Adventure and Discovery Backpacks - Get Ready to Explore! 

Want to grab an adventure and go? Ready to see what you can discover? The center offers a variety of nature-themed backpacks for you and your family! Our Adventure Backpacks are geared to school-aged children and our Discovery Backpacks are geared to you and your little one (preschoolers). Usually you can stop by the front desk to check one of these backpacks out; however, in promoting keeping everyone safe during the Covid-19 Pandemic, please be sure to pre-register HERE! During this time limited backpacks will be available on Wednesdays, Friday and Saturdays between the hours of 10:30 am and 2 pm (10:30 am - noon only Saturdays). Families will be able to check out a backpack for an hour and a half at a time, just stop by the front desk at the center before you head out to enjoy your activities in the surrounding park. Adults will just need to leave an id with our staff person until each bag is returned. Pre-registration is required, items in the bag will be sanitized before your arrival and again after the bags are returned.
