Tiny Tot Explorers & Eco Explorers

tiny tots explorers in action

Each summer, the Academy of Natural Sciences hosts Tiny Tot Explorers, a program for 3- and 4-year-olds and their favorite adult. Together, we explore an exciting new theme through games, crafts, songs, and museum explorations.

This summer, we've added a new program, Eco Explorers, for older children (ages 5 and 6) and their favorite adult. They'll also explore exciting new themes through games, crafts, songs, and museum explorations.
