Social Outing- Zionsville Parks (Nature Center and Short Spring Hike)

Join us for a private, small‑group visit to the Zionsville Nature Center, located inside the Hussey‑Mayfield Memorial Public Library. During this special program, we’ll meet several of the center’s ambassador animals—such as turtles and snakes—up close and in a calm, guided setting. Staff will introduce each animal, explain what to expect, and support everyone in feeling comfortable and prepared before interacting.

After our animal meet‑and‑greet, we’ll take a short hike to a nearby park to look for early signs of spring together.
