Auerfarm Family Fun programs are the perfect opportunity to create new family heart-bonding memories while engaging in informational hand-on farm-based activities.
Let’s show our Love for the Birds this upcoming Sunday, 2/13 on Valentine's Day weekend!
You and your family will explore what types of birds live on the Connecticut farms during the winter and create bird feeders to place around the farm and to take one home.
The Family Fun program format is scheduled twice a month on Sundays from 2pm-3:30pm and it is $10/per person; children under 2 attend for free. RSVP through link.
The Auerfarm Educators have created hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) curriculum for families of all ages. The hour and a half events are filled with unique exploratory experiences that will engage your families and build lasting memories.
Save these upcoming dates so we can together ‘learn by doing’ as a family!
