Let’s explore the quiet observation areas we have here at the Museum. We will use our listening ears and watching eyes to make observations about the world around us while documenting in our very own nature journals.

$15 per child. Members receive 20% discount. Non-members pay Museum admission for accompanying adult. 

*Due to face covering requirements at the Museum, we ask that caregivers bring to the program only the children between 3 and 5 years old registered for Backpack Explorers. Everyone is required to wear a mask in the classroom.

Per High Desert Museum policy, no refunds can be issued. For cases of illness or emergency, with notice 24 hours before the class, a class transfer may be issued.
