About the event
Spend a day on an outdoor adventure at Merck Forest & Farmland Center’s Explore-a-thon, a fun-filled event for families and friends of all ages. This event celebrates the great outdoors through a variety of engaging activities designed to help visitors experience nature in new and exciting ways.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoor landscape through art, outdoor skill-building, observation, science, and more. Whether you're an avid nature lover or looking to spark a new interest, Explore-a-thon offers something for everyone. Activities will range from guided nature walks and wagon rides to wildlife observation stations and hands-on art projects, as well as tent-building competitions and skill-building workshops.
Food will be available throughout the event, and MF&FC’s landscape offers a scenic setting for picnics. The suggested donation is $5 per person, supporting the center's ongoing efforts to create curiosity, love, and responsibility for natural and working lands.
