Discovery Museum: Nature Play Festival

Have fun, explore, and learn outdoors and inside at Discovery Museum’s free Nature Play Festival! We will gather with our community and local businesses to offer immersive nature-based activities throughout our campus including Invasive Plant Papermaking, Mud Kitchen, Bug Hunts, Log and Rock Flipping, and so much more. 

Explore our inclusive, accessible, and giant Treehouse and Discovery Woods nature playscape, and take a guided Nature Walk on the conservation land that abuts our campus. The fun continues indoors with our STEM-based galleries and hands-on activities.

Sensory accommodations include a Take-a-Break tent, an ASL interpreter onsite 11:30am to 3:00pm, and ASL yoga in the early afternoon. As always, we will have noise-reducing headphones available to borrow in the lobby.

There will be food, music, and fun as we connect with nature and appreciate the wonderful planet we all call home. Free admission for all. Rain or shine.

Parking: A free shuttle service will run from the Congregation Beth Elohim parking lot at 133 Prospect Street in Acton, less than 1 mile away. The shuttle will make the short trip continuously throughout the day from 10:15am to 8:15pm.
