Seasons

Celebrate the weather changes we experience throughout the year.

Overview

The Seasons area gives children and adults another way to understand and appreciate their home in the Mohawk Valley—a place in which time and the cycles of growth are so clearly displayed in the turning of the seasons. Explore our world, and build a sense of wonder about the natural world and the ways in which humans experience the seasons. Seasons includes a special place dedicated to our youngest visitors in the Toddler Forest.
