Family Fun at North River

Ready for some outdoor adventure? We’ve got all kinds of fun programs and activities for you and your family.

Shrew Hollow Nature Play Area

Discover the magic of nature, where kids can explore, create, and connect with the outdoors through natural elements. Let your child’s imagination soar as they venture into the playhouse and crawl through the tunnel. Every corner of this natural playground invites children to move, balance, and imagine.

Discovery Room

Looking for a peaceful spot where your little ones can explore indoors? Young explorers can enjoy sensory activities and touchable artifacts that bring the natural world to life, while shelves filled with nature books invite quiet moments of wonder and learning. 

Meet North River’s animal ambassadors—Flower the Corn Snake, and Shelly and Mr. T, the Red-eared Sliders. This interactive haven provides a welcoming perch for children to see, touch, and discover the beauty of the world around them.

Bird Viewing Room

A cozy haven for curious minds and nature lovers of all ages, featuring wide windows that reveal the lively world of birds just beyond the glass. Hands-on artifacts and easy-to-read displays encourage everyone to look closer, learn something new, and discover the beauty of the natural world together.
