Museum Fun at Home

A world of learning can be found outside the classroom and at home!

Turn a much-needed break into a fun, family activity! Take a walk around your neighborhood, look in your backyard for outdoor adventure, or come use our Park and Noland Trail as your adventurous playground. Send the kids on a pirate quest to discover “buried” treasures or challenge the kids to a game of Tree ID. Give quiet time a little twist with coloring pages created by The Mariners’ Museum to add to your kid’s art portfolio.

These activities offer critical thinking, scientific investigation, sensory play, sight identification, and more!

👀🌳 Tree Identification Walk 🌳👀

Take a stroll around your neighborhood, or on our Noland Trail, and challenge the kids to a game of Tree ID. Who can identify the most trees correctly? What types of trees do they see? Turn the challenge into a form of BINGO, all while learning about many of the native species around us and how they impact our ecosystem. Learning can be fun, especially outside!
