Family Nature Series!

Bring the whole family down to the Joslyn Castle Thursday evenings in June as our grounds are transformed into a classroom!

We are excited to invite the community to this FREE all-ages series that will teach us how to coexist with nature in our urban environment.

Learn about our scaly reptile friends, explore the garden, touch a turtle, and meet animals you may never have heard of before! The Summer Fun Series is a chance to get up close and personal to our thriving ecosystem right here in Midtown Omaha!

The event begins at 6:30pm. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket, as we will be on the lawns.

Come early at 5:30pm for free Yoga On The Green! Featuring three instructors:
