Kids in Nature Day

Join the South Wake Conservationists for the annual Kids in Nature Day on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the beautiful Lake Benson Park in Garner, North Carolina. This exciting outdoor event invites children and families to connect with the natural world through over twenty interactive activity stations spread across woods, fields, and scenic lakefront paths.

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet live animal exhibits, including birds of prey, reptiles, amphibians, and various aquatic life. The afternoon features lively musical performances and special appearances by Ranger Rick for memorable photo opportunities. Children can earn fun prizes by participating in activities throughout the park. While this event is entirely free to attend, donations are greatly appreciated to support conservation efforts. Ice cream and refreshments will also be available for purchase on site.

We encourage all families to explore the wonders of autumn in a spacious, engaging environment. Please register in advance through our website to assist with event planning and ensure a seamless experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you there for a day of discovery and outdoor fun.
