Family restroom capital project
Join us and support our next adventure: a NEW Family Restroom Building, Exploration Garden and Classroom Yurt! The new restroom building will triple our restroom capacity and help us to provide a more magical visitor experience for all. Inspired by the book series An Egg is Quiet (Dianna Aston), the building will include multiple family friendly, ADA accessible restrooms, child and adult changing stations, and a care room for nursing mothers. The Classroom Yurt will be home to our nature preschool, summer camps, and early childhood programs, and the Exploration Garden will bring the book Swirl by Swirl (Joyce Sidman) to life through hands-on discovery!
