The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden is a 12-acre living classroom designed especially
for children. Changing landscapes, a dynamic wetland and pond, and lush plantings
provide a unique and vibrant stage for hands-on learning about plant science. The
Adventure Garden includes outdoor and indoor learning galleries, each focusing on a
different aspect of plant science, filled with interactive exhibits and colorful inquiry-based
signs to promote active discovery.
Outdoor Guided Explorations rotate through several different galleries, as groups learn
about their senses, explore plant life cycles, discover the parts of a plant, and investigate
plant-animal interactions. The galleries include:
