Nature at Night

Nature at Night is a new, free weekly program at the Los Alamos Nature Center. On Wednesday evenings, the nature center will stay open late with themed activities, crafts, games, and outdoor exploration for all ages.

Learn about the January themes below:

Week 1: Winter Adaptations
Investigate how animals and plants meet the challenges of winter through hands-on stations that highlight the remarkable strategies living things use to survive the season.

Week 2: Plants in Winter — Guided Hikes
Join short guided walks around Kinnikinnick Park, departing every 30 minutes, to observe how local plants persist through cold, light changes, and snow. Indoor activities continue throughout the evening.

Week 3: Exploring Temperature
Investigate how heat and cold interact in winter and what these temperature patterns mean for the natural world.

Week 4: Star Night
Step outside to experience the winter night sky, learn about seasonal constellations, and build a deeper connection to the landscape after dark.
