I offered to volunteer for animal care in response to a request for such volunteers that was posted on the New Canaan Nature Center's website.

beautiful clean and nice people
NYC Mamí on the Move approved. We loved their Pancake and PJ Brunch and their Maple Sugaring Festival. We visited the Chicken coop and the goats, roasted marshmallows by the fireside, tapped some trees for sap and watched them turn sap into syrup. The taste testing of real and fake syrup was yummy and my son loved all of the animals and toys in the discovery room. We went on a nature walk and hiked through the woods. Def come visit this nature center for an outdoorsy experience.
Nice place for any event!!
We first became aware of the New Canaan Nature Center when a representative brought three birds of prey to our local library for a demonstration. We visited the center and enjoyed it very much. We brought lunch and made a day of it. The children were delighted.
Come join us April 7th for the WIsdom & Wonder nature workshop. Grandparents and others will gain novel ways to share time in nature with children. New Canaan's vision for connecting us to nature is vibrant and exciting! Go to Adult Programs to see more...
I recommend the adult education program especially the Wisdom and Wonder program on April 7th helping grandparents and other elders find nature connections with children they love.
Great facility, friendly staff, every event we have been to has been fun for the kids. We also LOVE the preschool and summer camp.
