JAMESTOWN – Celebrations of the Worldwide Day of Play are happening globally on Saturday, September 28th. Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) is recognizing this special day with free admission to the Nature Center building from 10:00am to 4:30pm. You are invited to come to Audubon and play outside on the trails, in the Nature Center, and in the indoor and outdoor nature play areas designed for kids.
ACNC has long understood that unstructured outdoor play is beneficial to children’s physical and mental development as well as their understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Its Green Play Area is a secure outdoor space where both kids and adults can make discoveries and feel more comfortable about the natural world through play.
From 10:00am to 3:00pm, no reservations are required for children ages 2–6 and their favorite adult(s) to drop in to enjoy the Green Play Area with its mud kitchen, water wall, loose parts, and more. An educator or volunteer will be available throughout the day to assist, but adults must supervise their children. To learn more, click through Programs and Events at AudubonCNC.org.
Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, NY, and Warren, PA. You can visit the nearly 600-acre nature preserve, check in on the live birds of prey, enjoy the native tree arboretum, and hike over five miles of trails dawn until dusk daily for free.
The three-story Nature Center building houses interactive displays, a collection of live animals including the Hellbender exhibit, and the Blue Heron Gift Shop. Visitors are welcome Mondays through Saturdays 10:00am-4:30pm and Sundays 1:00-4:30pm. Nature Center members and SNAP/EBT cardholders have free building admission daily. Building admission is also free every Sunday for non-Nature Center members.
