Things to Do at the Children’s Nature Retreat this Holiday Season

The autumn season is one of the nicest seasons of the year. The chilly winds are making us wear cozy clothing, and the smell of pumpkin spices lingers in every corner. While we’d all love to cuddle up in our pajamas at home, there are so many amazing things you can miss out on if you don’t go out. There’s no better way to spend the holiday season than at Children’s Nature Retreat! In today’s blog, we will go over the top things to do at Children’s Nature Retreat this holiday season!

Explore Our Pumpkin Patch

Visiting a pumpkin patch is a MUST to welcome the autumn season. Whether you use pumpkins for jack-o-lantern carvings or to bake those delicious pumpkin cupcakes you love, hand-choosing a pumpkin yourself is always fun. At Children’s Nature Retreat, we have a large pumpkin patch. It’s the perfect place to come with the kiddos and select the perfect pumpkin!

Traverse Our Maze

Have you ever been to a maze before? You may have seen them in movies, and trust us, they’re sensational! While mazes are known for teaching people problem-solving skills, patience, and persistence, at Children’s Nature Retreat, we can all agree that it’s mainly just a whole lot of fun!

Christmas Tree Lighting

Christmas is on its way at full speed, and Children’s Nature Retreat is ahead of the game! If you’re looking for some excitement for the whole family during the holiday season, you’ll want to visit Children’s Nature Retreat! We prepare a lot of fun activities that are themed to the holiday. We will be hosting a Christmas tree lighting around our lovely animal family! Join us on this spectacular event with the entire family! Christmas is a family favorite, and we’re excited to give your family the ultimate seasonal fun at our retreat!

Meet the Animals

Our furry family has been growing, and we currently have more than 180+ domesticated livestock and exotic animals from around the world. Some of our animals were rescued from the harsh living conditions, and many of our animals have been acquired from owners who were unable to take care of them. It is rewarding to see them thrive in the Children’s Nature Retreat. If you love animals, then visiting Children’s Nature Retreat will be a dream come true! This place is designed to bring people and animals together. The six separate areas where our animals reside—each reflecting a different world in the animal kingdom—help create a fun and teachable experience for children and adults alike.

Host a Holiday Party

Whether it be a holiday party or you’re lucky enough to celebrate a birthday in the autumn season, our retreat is the ultimate place to come together with friends and family in celebration of a special occasion. At the Children’s Nature Retreat, you can have exclusive use of our venue for up to 100 guests! If you decide to book your next event with us, you’ll have access to the barn and picnic area and enjoy our animal park, with an optional guided tour!

Here at the Retreat, the animals are treated with love and ethics. If you share our passion for the well-being of our furry friends and would like to interact with them, come visit us. There are so many things to do in our retreat during the holiday season! From exploring our pumpkin patch to hosting a holiday party, you can look forward to a lot of fun!
