Children of all abilities can play and explore nature through accessible activities in The Morton Arboretum’s lush 4-acre Children’s Garden during this special Nature Play for All weekend event, organized in collaboration with Benedictine University and SEASPAR, the South East Association for Special Parks and Recreation. Activities include Painting with Nature, Planting a Seed, American Sign Language Story Time, Pond Exploration, and Sensory Hikes.
Please reach out to childrensgarden@mortonarb.org with any questions or requests for accommodations. You may also visit the Children’s Garden Access and Inclusion page for information on sensory bags, social stories, and other resources. An indoor quiet space is available in the Children’s Garden for members and guests who want to use a calm, private area during the event.
This event is included with Arboretum admission. A member or guest who requires the help of a companion (whether paid or unpaid) in order to visit, may reserve one complimentary admission for their companion when placing their own paid ticket reservation.
