School Field Trips to South Shore Natural Science Center
The Science Center's environmental education programs offer indoor and outdoor learning activities. Out on the trails, children explore diverse wildlife habitats: woodlands, meadows, wetlands, and Jacobs Pond. At the nature center, children meet wildlife up close, take part in real scientific investigations, and enjoy hands-on exhibits.
Nature programs are held year round at the Science Center, with special topics offered seasonally in the fall, winter, spring, and summer.
Programs are tailored to the learning needs of each group.
All of our education programs are led by experienced teacher/naturalists. One naturalist is assigned to each group of 10-12 children. Program lengths refer to time spent with a naturalist. Visitors are welcome to extend their stay by hiking the trails, picnicking, and touring the exhibit halls on their own. Admission to the nature center and use of our facilities are included in the program cost. Special formats, including extended and all-day programs, are available.

- 1 hour Nature Program - $10/child
