Step through a “door into nature” to immerse yourself in a variety of natural environments that ignite curiosity and unlock creativity.
Visitors can traverse a majestic indoor forest immersing themselves in a variety of natural environments that ignite curiosity and unlock creativity. Filled with bright, colorful woodland animals and forest graphics, each visit is a new adventure!
Note: This exhibit space may be used for private events and programming, and may be closed to the general public at times.
The exhibit offers spacious canvas canopy tents, nature-themed camouflage flooring, and a cozy campfire section that boasts an abundance of playful plushes. The play area features a fun slide perfect for our littlest visitors, exploration tunnels to burrow through, and a boat children can steer on an imaginary river as they create their own wildlife adventure. The Secret Forest also features a dedicated Story Time hub where families can cozy up around a plush campfire to listen to favorite stories read by Nature Museum facilitators, or wind down and read some of their own favorites.
