The Anacostia Community Museum and the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park has launched a free monthly program: WILD Nature Play Club! Our WILD Nature Play Club will meet at 11 a.m. on the first Saturday of every month at the Anacostia Community Museum.
We invite the community to join us for unstructured playtime in nature as well as a child-directed hike through the George Washington Carver Nature Trail, which is located just behind the museum. A lifelong steward of the land, Dr. Carver spent his life teaching others to look at the world around him. At the end of the hike, we will gather together for a story and nature activity.
We welcome you to come prepared for our time together by dressing for the weather, bringing an extra pair of clothes, closed-toe shoes, water, and a snack! While this program is designed for visitors and their families who are 0-8 years old, we welcome visitors of all ages to join us.
The Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum is located at 1901 Fort Pl SE Washington, DC 20020. It is open daily 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (except Dec. 25) free of charge. More information about the museum’s current exhibition and public programs can be found on the museum’s website at anacostia.si.edu.
