Gibbs Memorial Park in Danville, learning to identify the tracks animals leave behind and reading clues about animal behavior to work out who walked the trail before them. The hour-long session ends with a craft so children can make their own tracks at home. It is designed for ages 7 to 12 with a parent or guardian, an after-school time slot on a Tuesday. The fee is $5 per participant and advance registration is required through Hendricks County Parks' RecDesk page. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Name That Skull! at McCloud Nature Park](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/name-that-skull-at-mccloud-nature-park--listing-c334e49da2118f838588bdb6) — Tue, Nov 24 (+1 more date) · 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM · McCloud Nature Park, North Salem · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
