Why can’t I bring my preschool/K/Grade 1/Grade 2 class?

Our naturalist programs are tailored to third grade and up for several reasons.

  • Observing the animals requires that kids hold still and be silent for several minutes at a time, to keep from scaring the wildlife away.
  • No one is allowed to touch the plants or animals.
  • The slippery rocky reef and the stairs to and from the beach can be difficult to navigate for smaller children.
  • Few young children have the patience to listen to and take direction from our volunteer naturalists for the 2-hour period of the tour.

We recommend that younger children visit with their families on weekends or holidays, when they can explore in a flexible time frame and have their parents’ undivided attention.
