Come out for Philadelphia’s favorite Earth Day celebration! There’s no better place to celebrate nature than our beautiful forest, so stop by for science activities, crafts, nature walks, live animal shows. Stop by our nature radio station for games, prizes, and other fun with Kathy O’Connell from WXPN’s Kids Corner. Grab lunch at a food truck, explore environmental art on our trails, meet the Philly Phanatic, and join in a fort-building competition. Enjoy the first warmth of spring with your friends and family. In partnership with the Philadelphia Science Festival.
