Special Events

We are back for every Thursday in June with our Family Nature Series!

You're invited to our outdoor, interactive classroom where you will learn how to coexist with nature in an urban environment! Gain knowledge with interactive engagements from our partners in conservation: Papio Missouri River NRD, Milkweed Matters, Omaha Sprouts, Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, and Wildlife Encounters. 

This is a FREE event for the community. All ages are welcome, and you'll meet us on the lawns of the Joslyn Castle & Gardens. Bring your own blanket or chair!
