Included with Admission to VINS Nature Center
Where do milkweed pods become bathtubs and beds, and acorn caps become dinnerware? In Fairy Town at VINS, of course! Join the Fairy Court to help search the forest for our hidden fairy friends in a scavenger hunt adventure. Learn about and connect with the natural world and discover a little magic along the way. You never know who is waiting for you behind the next tree or resting under the next bush.
After the hunt, get hands-on in nature by using natural materials to build your very own fairy house in VINS’ Fairy Town.
Wings and fairy costumes are encouraged!
Recommended for ages 4 and up.
