About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Join our family pollinator party! Explore the Historic Chapel Meadow to embark on a journey of discovery to observe pollinators in action. See how flowers attract pollinators through their vibrant colors, enticing scents, and sweet nectar. 

Afterwards, your expert guide will walk you through a hands-on flower dissection to uncover the hidden reproductive structures of a flower and gain insight into the mechanisms of pollination. 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore the natural landscape of Green-Wood through the lens of pollinators! 

Please note: This event takes place at the meadow beside the Historic Chapel, not far from Green-Wood’s Main Entrance located at 25th Street and Fifth Avenue.

This event is recommended for children, ages 4-12. Children MUST be accompanied by an adult, and adult ticket holders MUST be accompanied by a child. Adults and children (ages 4 and older) are required to purchase tickets.
