Description: Are you worried that your child may turn into a couch potato this summer? Our Summer Science Nights are a great way to enrich your child’s understanding of science in the best laboratory of all – the great outdoors. Each session includes hands-on, minds-on activities and an action-packed hike on one of our wildlife-rich preserves.

The hours just before sunset are a thrilling time to explore the Katy Prairie. In the coolness of the evening you are sure to spot nighthawks sweeping overhead, hear buzzing crickets, and witness a spectacular sunset. If you’re ready to explore this shadowy world of adventure then our Summer Science Nights are for you! We’ll play games, do crafts, run simple experiments, and take fun-filled hikes to discover some of the sensational science behind the prairie’s wildlife and history.
