Being outdoors in nature is good for kids; it nurtures curiosity and instills a love of the natural world.
OC Parks offers an opportunity for kids to experience nature every Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the beautiful Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve.
Bring your kids and join OC Parks staff to learn all about the Newport Back Bay.
OC Parks “Wild Tales” program includes a story time, an age-appropriate hike, and a themed craft. Each week will focus on a different topic that encourages young ones to learn about the outdoors.
The program begins at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center. Program content is tailored for the preschool level (ages 2-5), but all are welcome to attend.
Minors under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Please wear comfortable attire and closed-toe shoes.
Advance registration is recommended. Program and parking are free.
Poor weather may result in moving the program indoors or cancelling it.
