Exciting Activities in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden at The NY Botanical Garden

Trees dressed with fiery red, orange, and yellow leaves; gold-kissed blades of grass, and crisp cool air means fall is upon us. Families visit the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden to learn about plant science in a fun and engaging way. Experience the beauty and excitement of nature in the one-of-a-kind, 12-acre indoor/outdoor science museum where children explore, discover and learn how plants live and function. There are so many things to do—from making ghostly leaf rubbings to up close examination of the creepy-crawlies that inhabit our Forest. Our specially designed inquiry-based programs stimulate a child’s enthusiasm for science, ecology and conservation.

Ongoing Activities for Children of All Ages

Tuesdays–Sundays, 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm; Weekends and Monday holidays, 10–6 pm

Throughout the season, children dissect plant parts such as seeds and flowers, experiment to discover if plants make sugar to use as food, investigate bugs that help plants grow, look through microscopes to see plants up close, press flowers and plants to take home, and much more. We encourage children to look, touch, explore, question, and discover just like scientists. A few of the many things children learn are, what’s in a flower by taking it apart and putting it back together—and children look at things through a bee’s eye view!

Budding Botanists Every Tuesday–Friday, 1:30–3:00 pm

Join us for activities specially designed for the Early Learner (2–5 year olds). Nature crafts featuring recyclables and experiments abound. Using washed juice boxes, milk cartons, soda bottles, or egg cartons to create an instrument, garden pet, or experiment to take home. Activities change regularly and are complemented with a colorful story each week. Drop in!
