Families & Kids

There is something for children of all ages at Hoyt Arboretum! We offer a variety of nature programs for youth, families, schools, and other groups, as well as self-led activities to get everyone engaged with the natural world:

• Tree Time! explores toddler-friendly themes like slugs and bees.
• Pop-Up Nature! encourage youth to learn about different science topics through self-led activities.
• Family Bird Walks are a great way to explore nature with your loved ones while learning about birds.
• School field trips and private youth programs are available for your class or group.
• Saturday Crews are a great volunteer opportunity to get outside with adolescents and teens.

You can also explore Hoyt Arboretum with our Children’s Adventure Map. These family-friendly walks through the Evergreen Trees and Flowering Trees also include recommendations for accessible trails and strollers.
