Engage and Explore - Biomes: Tropical Rainforest

Biomes are communities of plants and animals interacting with weather. Our planet is a jigsaw puzzle of many different biomes. Commonly found along the middle belt of the planet, the equator are many of our Tropical Rainforest Biome zones. Rainforests are the planets lungs! Abundant precipitation, species rich plant and animal life, hot and humid; let’s explore the biome that is the Tropical Rainforest.

This is an inquiry-based approach to advanced biological concepts. Open to ages 5-12, we will have themed games, crafts, and hands-on learning with the nature center animals. Parents are welcome to stay with their children, or drop them off. These Barn Nature Center hosted events run every first-Friday of the month from 2pm-4:30pm. Cost is $25 per child and $5 per adult. We recommend students wear closed-toe shoes and bring a refillable water bottle.
