The grounds at RBG are spectacular! We especially loved walking some of the wooded trails and feeding the chipmunks and chickadees. These creatures are quite friendly and will come to you to be hand fed, so be sure to bring along some seeds or nuts for treats.

A Discovery Pack can be borrowed at the front desk to help kids with exploration. The packs contain activity sheets, magnifiers, identification guides, etc. Lots of fun!
