KIDS

Explore the Outdoors and Take a StoryWalk®!

For infants-age 9

Get outdoors and enjoy books and nature at our StoryWalks®! Pages of a children's picture book are displayed on signs along a path so that families can read the book, page by page, as they walk. StoryWalks® combine three important elements that promote learning: reading, moving, and enjoying the outdoors.
