Explore exotic habitats from around the world and dig into some hands-on science fun during the midwinter school break. Families can learn together at Discovery stations inside BBG’s Steinhardt Conservatory as kids use their senses to investigate plants and objects firsthand and find out how plants survive in environments from deserts to rainforests. Attendees will receive free admission to roam the grounds and also participate in a special Mommy Nearest activity. Details will arrive in your email confirmation closer to the date.
You must register each person’s name in advance.
