The Great Outdoors A network of nature trails interpret woodland and wetland ecology as well as geological, botanical and human history. Walk the Lower Pond Loop for a study of wetland environments. Stroll the Timescape Trail to see how landscapes change over time. Observe the diversity of birds, butterflies and bugs hiding in tall grasses and wildflowers in our New England Meadow Habitat. Small groups may explore the forest from a unique perspective on our Tree Canopy Walkway, suspended 40 feet above ground.
Seasonal programs have a maximum of eight participants, and special fees apply.
To make the most of your experience at EcoTarium, you should be prepared to explore the indoors and outdoors. This means visitors should wear weather-appropriate, comfortable clothing and shoes. Astronomy Programs that Interpret the Sky A variety of live and multimedia programs in our planetarium give audiences front-row seats to stellar shows under simulated skies. A three-season Evening SkyWatch Series makes use of powerful telescopes on our Sundial Plaza and in the Norton Observatory to view distant stars, planets and nebulae. Reservations are required, and additional fees apply.
