Education and Family Events

Self-Guided Discoveries
Explore the Park with our kid-friendly, self-guided backpacks. With the backpack children will be able to take a tree tour, get to know two North Carolina sculptures, play a game of Bird Bingo, and be a Park-inspired poet. Backpacks are free to borrow and can be checked out from the Information Desk in the Museum Lobby.
