Super strength, super smell, super flight...Do you ever wish that you had powers like your favorite superheroes do? Well at Sky Meadows there are many insects that DO have a variety of super-like powers, though on a tiny scale. Scurry on over to learn about their extraordinary abilities and important roles in the ecosystem through games, yard exploration, live and preserved specimens, and art!

This program is open to all ages but is best suited for young children and families. Please make sure to bring decent walking shoes as the program will move throughout the Historic Area. Meet at the Carriage Barn next to the main parking area for this super-duper guided Ranger experience. Signs will point you in the right direction!
