This eight-acre park overlooks scenic White Rock Lake and is a Certified Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Waystation.

Exhibits such as Plants are Alive and Earth Cycles magnify nature to allow children to see small creatures on a big scale. See models of ants the size of a small pony, interact with the water cycle, and more. Giant replicas of small insects and dioramas are located periodically throughout the park to enhance learning experiences. Visit the Amazing Secret Garden for an enchanted look into the beauty of nature or take part in one of the exhibits that allow children to interact with nature the way animals do.
Be a scientist and learn about their different jobs with one of the regularly scheduled activities that occur weekly. Starting with Metamorphosis Mondays and ending with Weekends of Wonder, every day at the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden is filled with inspiration and education.
The park is open daily, except major federal holidays, from 9-5.
