Summer Group Field Trips

     

    Come visit the Nature Discovery Center with your summer group and explore our interactive indoor exhibits and Russ Pitman Park too!

     

    Guided Visits for groups of up to 30 children ages 3 - 12

    Tuesdays through Fridays at 10 am

    Cost: $3/child

     

    The Center’s friendly staff lead groups through our two Discovery Rooms where children will experience hands-on exhibits and live animals. We will also guide children on a nature walk through 4 acre Russ Pitman Park, where groups can see urban wildlife like birds, butterflies, and squirrels.

     

    Group visits must be scheduled in advance. Call us at 713-667-6550 to arrange your visit.  Note: Groups larger than 30 must request special arrangements when they call!

     

    A deposit of $20 is required for each day booked, and is due at the time of registration.

     

    Other Details:

    • The program lasts 1-1.5 hours depending on the size of your group.
    • One chaperone is required for every 5 pre-K or 10 elementary age children.
    • Chaperones are responsible for your group’s good behavior at all times.
    • Picnic tables and playgrounds are available for your use.

    There are two safety considerations to be aware of:

    • Mosquitoes are often an annoyance. Check with parents about using insect repellant on their children before you arrive. Bring your repellant with you!
    • Poison ivy does grow in some of the wooded area of our park. Please help us keep the children on the trails at all times.
