Dig into the world of agriculture with our 4-week Tot Time program! Every month, we spotlight a different Wisconsin-grown crop, allowing little learners to explore the science and stories behind our food.
Each week, families will enjoy open exploration in our Seedlings Gallery, facilitator-led activities throughout Food + Farm Exploration Center, and a delicious snack pertaining to the monthly theme. Through hands-on play and greenhouse exploration, children will experience the amazing ways food travels from the field to their fork. This is our first month back after summer break. Save your spot early!
