Homeschool Day

Boasting ponds, streams, walking trails, a nature play area, and a green-roofed pavilion – not to mention the more than 2,200 tagged trees and shrubs carefully curated into living collections – it’s easy to see why we pride ourselves on being one of the best outdoor classrooms in central Iowa. Come see for yourself during this special open house geared for homeschool families and groups. You’ll find a host of self-guided learning activities waiting for you when you arrive. Pick up a passport at the Kiosk to get started, then when your passport is complete, bring it to the Vista Room for validation and a special reward.
