Join us for a morning of fun arts and crafts to get you and your family in the holiday spirit! Craft stations will be set up around the lower level of our nature center themed for the upcoming holidays. These crafts will be suited for all ages, but adult supervision is required for this event. Our staff will be available to replenish any supplies while assisting everyone with the crafts they complete at their own pace.
The event will run from 9:30am – 12pm, however, please arrive prior to 11:30am in order to leave enough room for all of the crafts!

Join us for our 32nd annual Romp in the Swamp event, presented by Essity – a cherished autumn tradition where adventure meets celebration. This year, we’re back and better than ever, and we can’t wait to have you join the fun!
Your adventure begins as you take an enchanting hay wagon ride out to the prairie. There, you can grab a s’more before exploring our scenic trails to collect treats at the trick-or-treat stations along the way. You can also try your hand at navigating the twists and turns of the prairie maze, compete in a costume contest with fantastic prizes up for grabs, enjoy festive, fall-themed games in The Pines, and even watch a film in costume while savoring some delicious popcorn as we transform our lower level into a movie theater.
