Mud Pies in 2017

Mud Pies has been one of the most successful programs here at Fontenelle Forest. Since its inception, Mud Pies has provided the opportunity for thousands of young children and their adults to spend time together exploring nature!

Mud Pies meets on Monday through Thursdays throughout the winter, spring, and fall. Parents are invited to drop in with children ages 5 and under to learn about a different natural science topic every week through fun, interactive activities.

Starting in January 2017, we will return to charging a materials and supply fee for the Mud Pies program. This change will allow us to continue to provide a high quality nature experience for everyone.

The cost is as follows…

Daily Mud Pies admission is $3 per child for Fontenelle Forest members. The non-member rate is $5 per child plus daily admission.

A yearly Mud Pies pass will be available to Fontenelle Forest members. This pass provides access to Mud Pies (and our summer program, Wild Summer Days) for a full year on a once-a-week basis. The Mud Pies pass goes on sale December 1st at an introductory rate of $100. This price increases to $150 on February 1st.

The new prices will begin on Monday, January 9th when Mud Pies resumes after the holidays. The annual pass will be available for purchase at the Nature Center or online.
