FEATURED EVENTS

From August 23rd to October 31st, our 2019 seven-acre corn maze design is a tribute to “Cabot Cheese“. Come walk through our educational corn maze as we teach you about Cabot farmers throughout New England and New York. We pride ourselves on having a challenging maze – but not frustrating! Our mini maze is a tribute to Fort Hill Farm’s 1st generation farmer Ernie O’Leary, who is still jeeping at 90! This maze is perfect for hot days or kids’ birthday parties. 7 Acre Adventure Maze: Fridays - Mondays; Mini Maze: Daily; Flashlight Nights (18+): Tuesday - Thursday. Starting in September, enjoy the corn maze at night under the stars and moon on our “no kids allowed” FLASHLIGHT NIGHTS.

This holiday raises awareness about the life cycle and natural habitat of sloths, native South and Central American animals. Come find our two Two-toed sloths, hiding in our Rainforest exhibit. The Two-toed sloth is a mid-size animal with brownish-greenish fur that provides excellent camouflage. Hint: look up!

During a midnight meteor shower, something mysterious falls from the sky toward Earth. Two curious kids venture into the forest to investigate and find themselves mixed up with a family of visitors from another planet! Don’t miss this action-packed and educational alien adventure using science experiments for special effects on October 22, 2019. It's totally out of this world. Ages 5 and up. (Drop-in)

Jurassic Quest is America’s largest and most realistic dinosaur event. Our guests will walk through the Cretaceous period, the Jurassic Period and The Triassic period and experience for themselves what it was like to be among dinosaurs of all kinds. Jurassic Quest is the only dinosaur event that has true to life size dinosaurs. From the very small, to the gigantic, sky-scraping dinosaurs that can only be seen at our events, Jurassic Quest has over 80 true-to-life size dinosaurs in each of its two touring shows. In collaboration with leading paleontologists, each dinosaur was painstakingly replicated in every detail. Whether their prehistoric counterpart had skin that was scaly, had feathers or fur, Jurassic Quest has spared no expense in bringing this realism to life.

Each year on October 21, people across the nation observe National Reptile Awareness Day. Created not only for reptile lovers to celebrate, but National Reptile Awareness Day also promotes education, conservation, and appreciation for reptiles. It is a day to learn about their natural habitats and the ecological threats that they are facing.

Enjoy a preschool story time at the library with a STEAM twist! We will read stories, sing songs, say rhymes, and do STEAM inspired activities. Perfect for ages 3-5. Registration is required, non-residents welcome!
