Once a month, May through August, we offer a Learning Together family class for preschool-age children and their adult caregivers. We will share stories, an outdoor nature walk, and nature arts and crafts. Activities will be both indoors and out. We will also spend time in our outdoor children’s activity area.

Learning Together family classes are on a Tuesday morning from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Meet at the Visitor Center.

These programs are designed for children ages 3 to 5 years. Younger siblings are welcome. Caregiver must attend. Advance registration is required. Fee: $20 per family/group (up to four people per group).

If you have questions or need financial assistance, please contact education@arboretum.wisc.edu.
