No matter where we go, tiny wonders can be found all around us. Most are much too small to see, but with special tools, we can peer into that amazing hidden world. Come by our table to take a look at various natural objects through our microscope. We’ll look at everything from feathers to mushrooms, and we’ll even help you find your own piece of nature to inspect!
What to Expect:
We will be set up under an outdoor picnic shelter, with seating available. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
