Ijams Night Hike (Family Program)

Ijams Night Hikes are recommended for ages 6 and up

Description: Explore Ijams Nature Center in a new light, or perhaps no light. Ijams Night Hikes get you out on the trails to experience the night using all of your senses. Each walk includes night games and activities as well as exploration for nocturnal creatures. Search for salamanders using the ears of a bat, or call for owls while staying as silent as possible. You never know what you might find or experience on a fun night hike at Ijams.

Materials Participants Should Bring: Good walking shoes, water, flashlight, and weather appropriate clothes

Information to Note: This is a night hike that covers trails with roots and rocks. Participants should be prepared to walk upwards of a mile in low light conditions.

Directions: This Ijams Night Hike meets out front of the Ijams Visitor Center. 

No walk-ins will be accepted. Every participant must have a ticket. Children under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult.

Ijams awards full refunds for any cancellations up to 7 days before a program, or if Ijams cancels a program due to inclement weather. Refunds are not awarded for programs with fees of $5 or less for any reason. Tickets are non-transferable.
