Summer Play Date in the Gardens

Summer Play Dates Available at Healthcote Botanical Gardens

May 18, 2012
Heathcote Botanical Gardens is offering a great opportunity to get out and do something different in the way of play dates and activities this summer! Whether you are a child care center or other organization that provides care for children, or a mothers' group or group of parents looking for something unique to do with your kiddos, Heathcote's Summer Play Date in the Gardens promises to be a fun and educational event you and young ones will enjoy. 

Here is how it works: Heathcote has created 15 eco-friendly activities that it will be offering throughout the summer. You call the Heathcote office and schedule a play date for your group at which time you will also choose one of these activities. When you arrive for your play date, your kids will participate in the one-hour activity that you chose and then take a guided tour of the gardens if you wish. Bring along a bagged lunch and you and your group can enjoy a picnic in the Garden! 

The cost for this great outing is only $4 per child and the supervising adult is FREE! The admission for accompanying adults is only $6 unless they are a member of the Gardens.

For more information about the list of activities and the dates and times available for scheduling play dates, please call the Heathcote Botanical Gardens office at 772-464-4672.
