Families Invited to Nature Play at The NEST

Families are invited to join Manatee County Natural Resources Department for a Nature Play Fest at the Robinson Preserve’s Mosaic Center for Nature, Exploration, Science and Technology (NEST) April 25, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Families will have the opportunity to chase bubbles, paint with mud, climb in a Tortoise Burrow, crack Geodes and build forts all around the Robinson Preserve lawn. Entering the NEST, families will decorate a leaf puppet and enjoy playing in the puppet theater.

“This is a unique opportunity to explore nature in an intimate, family-friendly setting,” said Manatee County District 3 Commissioner Tal Siddique. “It will make for a memorable evening.”

The event is in partnership with Soar in 4 and the Remake Learning Days. To sign up at https://events.humanitix.com/nature-play-fest-dntnnmm9
