Nature Play Days in The Ramble! New England Botanic Garden invites you to wander in their new and whimsical woodland garden, The Ramble. The new 1.5 acre family Garden is the perfect place for the entire family to learn, explore, and investigate while having fun. The Ramble opened just over a year ago in April 2022.
The design elements and features in the Garden support interactive hands-on nature exploration and play, cultivating an early appreciation for the environment. Education programs leverage the garden’s unique features and diverse plantings to engage children in STEAM principles (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), and teach about the value of plants in our ecosystem.
Stop by with your imagination to create magical worlds and explore the great outdoors as you dress up, craft, make music, play, and make new friends during the Garden’s Nature Play Days. These activities make learning about nature engaging for children of all ages. Please note that Nature Play Days are drop-in activity stations and are included in general admission. Purchase your tickets online now to visit the Garden. You can also buy tickets in person at the Garden.
