Preschool Maple Sugaring Adventure - Friday, February 27th, 2026, 1:30pm - 3:00pm at Trailside Nature Museum

Join us for a maple sugaring adventure at Trailside Museum in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.

Join us to learn how to tap a tree and about the process of making syrup - and also get to taste some! Families will meet in front of the Wigwam before learning about how maple syrup is made from one of the naturalists at the Trailside Museum. With our remaining time we can explore the trails around the museum and inside of the museum itself. If the snow is good, bring a sled to brave the legendary Pell Hill next to the museum!

This program is designed for ages 2-6 years, but all ages are welcome. Sturdy shoes and warm layers are suggested. Heavy rain and/or other inclement weather reschedules or cancels (we still meet in light to steady rain with appropriate clothing/umbrellas).

Space is limited and advance registration is required. We expect this program to be fully booked with a waitlist, so please cancel your reservation as soon as possible if you are not able to attend. PLEASE DO NOT SIMPLY ‘NO SHOW.’
