Nature Night Out

Spend your Saturday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 PM exploring the beauty of the Backcountry Wilderness Area. Each week features a live animal presentation and a chance to learn about the local flora and fauna that make our Backcountry so special. Its the perfect low-key night out for families, couples, or anyone who wants to unwind and enjoy nature at sunset. Registration is per-car. Feel free to bring snacks or a picnic dinner to enjoy at one of our picnic tables! 

Not ready to end your night at 7:30? On certain Saturdays from June through August, stay for a movie under the stars with our Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series! Explore combo tickets to save on both activities.
