National Oyster Day!

Rainbow Playground

Come celebrate National Oyster Day with us by learning about Gantry Plaza State Park's oysters during this interactive tabling session!

All ages. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

No pre-registration. Just walk up!

Important note regarding COVID-19:

  • In order to ensure the health and safety of our staff and participants, we will be limiting our capacity for some programs. For our more popular programs, we will offer multiple sessions to accommodate as many participants as possible.

  • Pre-registration through Eventbrite is highly recommended to ensure that space is available. Please reserve one ticket for each person attending the event (INCLUDING caregivers and babies).

  • To allow space for as many people as possible, we ask that you please only register for one session per program and show up for the timeframe of the session on the ticket that you reserved. If we have not heard from you by 10 minutes into the program, your tickets will be released.

  • Masks will be encouraged during our programs when social distance cannot be maintained.

Stay tuned for more August programs to come!
