Suitable for ages under 6 with caregivers

Ever wonder what lives in a pond? Come and explore this amazing world! We will have a short walk to the pond (Rensselaer Lake) after a brief introduction, story and song. Participants will have the opportunity to sample the pond and look up close at all the specimens we find. Staff will provide nets, hand lenses, and collecting bins. Please wear boots or footwear that can get wet and muddy. This program will meet at Six Mile Waterworks, 135 Fuller Rd, Albany, NY 12205, not at the Discovery Center.

Reserve a spot for everyone in your party regardless of age.
