Wonder Walks at Matthaei Botanical Gardens

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays. These walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Wednesday walks begin at 5:30 pm.  Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start.

April is Earth Month — a time to celebrate and connect with the planet we all call home. As life stirs and blooms around us, let’s take a closer look at the land, water, and sky that sustain us. What lessons can we learn from Mother Earth this season?

May is a season of change and discovery! From trees unfurling fresh leaves to delicate spring ephemerals racing to bloom, nature is on the move. Join us on the trails to explore these fleeting wonders, search for vibrant wildflowers, and peer into ponds for tadpoles making their grand debut.
