Big Fish Little Fish Play Day

Our BFLF early learner day, held Thursdays from mid-September through April, engages tots and their favorite adults in science and discovery in a fun, social setting.

Big Fish Little Fish Play Day

Join us on Thursdays, from mid-September through April, for special activities and programs that will excite your little nature lovers in hands-on learning about the world around them. Special activity stations that engage children in fine and gross motor skills, sensory exploration, literacy, math, and creativity are based on bimonthly themes and set up around the building. You and your child can explore the Center’s exhibits and activity stations anytime throughout the day and choose to participate in our naturalist-led group program at 11am.

Come be a part of our BFLF community, make friends, and discover something new!

Follow us on social media to learn about the theme of the day!
