Make-a-Craft Mondays

Create your very own Phipps masterpiece! On Make-a-Craft Mondays, children are invited to engage in nature-themed arts-and-crafts projects.
Story Time Wednesdays and Thursdays
Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Thursdays, 10:30 a.m.
Come to Phipps for story time among the flowers. Kids will love listening to our storytellers weave tales about gardens, fruits, vegetables, animals and other fun topics. Attend six sessions with a special child in your life and receive a free children’s book. Story time takes place in the outdoors during the warm months and in the Tropical Forest Conservatory the rest of the year. Each session lasts from 30 minutes to an hour.
Story Time is open to the first 30 ticketed participants. Families attending Story Time need to check in at the admission desk in the Welcome Center where they will be given a Story Time admission pass. A pass is required to attend Story Time.
Pot-a-Plant Fridays
10:30 a.m. – noon
On Pot-a-Plant Fridays, children are introduced to the important connections between people, plants and the planet by potting their own fun plants to take home.
Discovery Stations
On your next visit to Phipps, look for our Discovery Stations throughout the gardens for a fun hands-on look at a specific subject related to the natural world. Although geared towards children, Discovery Stations provide lessons that can be enjoyed by anyone.
