Forest Fridays

Forest Fridays at Elachee

Free Admission for all from 12 pm - 5 pm with special programming from 2 pm - 5 pm.

Unwind after a long week and reconnect with nature during Forest Fridays at Elachee. Relax on the back patio, explore the exhibits, or join a guided forest hike at 3 PM.

The first Friday of each month will feature the Women of the Woods Club program (beginning in October)! Please see the separate event on our calendar for details and to register.

Drop by for Naturalist ‘Office Hours’ from 2 pm to 5 pm with our environmental educator— meet an ambassador animal, chat about seasonal topics like baby wildlife, snakes, or bring your own nature questions! Whether you're here to learn or just breathe in the forest air, Forest Fridays are your weekly invitation to slow down and explore.
