🎃 Family Fun at Quarry Hill: Creatures of the Night

Quarry Hill Nature Center is hosting this family-friendly event this weekend.

Creatures of the Night is a guided experience. You and your kids will meet three costumed woodland creatures: a bat, a raccoon, and a skunk. Each one has a story to tell about their nighttime adventures.

After the program, attendees are free to go on a self-guided "I-Spy" hike through the forest. Kids love looking for the objects hidden all along the trail. Organizers ask that you bring a real flashlight, "cell phone lights do not work well for this and are not nearly as fun."

After all of the fun, kids are given a treat to take home.
