Summer Event Series: Mud Day
Saturday, June 27, 2026
10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Looking for a chance to perfect your mud pie? Not bugged by bugs? Or maybe feathers tickle your fancy. Either way, you will have a BLAST(-off) at one (or all!) of our summer events.
Celebrate each day with educator-lead programs, hands-on drop-in activities, and community partners!
Get down and dirty with everything from mud pies and mud painting to mud toss games and creature sculptures on Mud Day! Bring a change of clothes: Today will be delightfully messy for the whole family. All activities will take place in the Nature Explore outdoor exhibit.
