Youth Education

We offer a variety of experiences both on-site and off-site.

Here you will find forms relevant to on-site tours and Butterfly Magic exhibit tours.

The kits that we offer are currently being revised; we expect to offer them again soon plus a new one on butterflies.

 

 

Crazy Science

Sunday, January 22 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Budding scientists of all ages will get to try their hand at some bizarre, shocking (and maybe a little messy) experiments. Join us to learn some amazing science facts and concepts AND have beaker-fuls of fun!

Flock Party

Sunday, February 26 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Migrate over to the Gardens for an afternoon of presentations, performances, and activities all about birds! Learn about the many species of feathered friends that make their home in Tucson throughout the year.
