Families are invited to celebrate the winter solstice while getting in tune with nature. It's the darkest day of the year but join the fun and you can help spread some warmth, spirit, and light. Stroll around the ponds and check out the resident and visiting birds, enjoy refreshments, and learn about the significance of the solstice.

Also, crafts! Make bird feeders out of oranges, roll honeycomb beeswax candles, and decorate wintery lanterns perfect for the upcoming dark winter evenings. Tickets must be purchased online.
