Each Saturday morning at ten, children of all ages join Mother Nature's representative in the Nature Center's library area. They hear a story, learn 'cool facts' about the animal of the month and make something to take home. Sometimes the animal of the month is a resident of the center and is used in a short interpretative program. Other times, the kids see and handle feathers, wings, egg replicas, track casts, scat replicas and furs.

All scheduled hikes are FREE and open to the public. Severe weather should be considered a notice of cancellation of the hike. Please dress appropriately for the weather of the day( raingear, layers of clothing for cold weather, sunscreen and hats for warm weather, insect repellent, closed-toed shoes or boots). Carrying water with you on the hike is recommended.
These hikes are not appropriate for children in strollers as there are rocks and logs to step over and hills and valleys to traverse. Children may hike or be carried.
This season, notice that some months the "Hike with a Naturalist" is being offered on Wednesday mornings and some months it is offered on Saturday mornings. This guilded hike also corresponds with some of the public events at Lakeside Nature Center. The Hike begins at 10:30 a.m. and hikers gather inside the main doors of Lakeside Nature Center, 4701 E. Gregory Blvd., Kansas City MO. There the naturalist will meet hikers, give an introduction to the hike of the day and then lead the group on the trail. Some hikes do have "early out" opportunities for those that wish to complete their hike before noon.
Some trails require a short drive from Lakeside Nature Center to the trailhead. For more information, call 816-513-8960.
