We wrapped up our weekly Junior Gardeners program yesterday and tucked the garden in for its winter rest 💤

It’s been an incredible season of digging, planting, and learning together — and we can’t wait to see everything bloom again in the spring!

While we’re proud to offer discounted $3 admission for families using SNAP or WIC benefits through the Museums for All program, during the government shutdown we’ll be waiving that fee entirely. Families who present their card will receive free admission to The Nest. 💛

We’re committed to keeping The Nest an accessible space for play, connection, and support—no matter what's happening beyond our doors.
