Join us with your family as we explore the magical season of winter. Learn about sugar maple trees and how maple syrup is produced, plus taste real maple syrup. Meet live animals from Eyes of the Wild that are equipped to survive cold temperatures, and explore the gardens for animal tracks, signs, and birds that overwinter right here in New Jersey. The animal program and maple sugar demonstration will be indoors in our Education Center. Each tour lasts approximately 1 hour, plus self-guided time for outdoor exploration in our gardens.
