Things That Go Bump in the Night at Heller Nature Center

Have you ever wondered what makes those mysterious sounds in the woods after dark? Separate nocturnal creatures from your spooky stories in this family-friendly evening program! While humans rely heavily on sight, nighttime animals use incredible superpowers like echolocation, super-powered hearing, and night vision to navigate the dark. Bring your curiosity and leave your flashlights behind—it is time to see the woods in a whole new light!

Pre-registration required. All participants, children and adults, must register for the program. Children must be accompanied by a paid registered adult. Program is outdoors so please dress for the weather.

Admission Cost
Child Admission: $12.00
