On a Saturday morning, the museum hosts a public 'BioBlitz Community Event,' a wetland biodiversity survey. Children will become junior ecologists, led by professional naturalists, receiving binoculars, insect nets, plant presses, and magnifying glasses to explore the elevated wooden boardwalks of the wetland and along Lytle Creek. They will search for and record local songbirds, aquatic turtles, amphibians, aquatic insects, and late autumn wild plants, learning to use scientific tablets to enter species data into a database. Indoors, there are also permanent exhibits such as a water flow engineering physics table and a treehouse exhibit. All indoor and outdoor boardwalks are fully accessible, allowing strollers to pass smoothly. Restrooms are equipped with changing tables, and a comfortable nursing room is specially provided indoors. This event is suitable for children and families ages 3 to 14, with a suggested visit time of 3 hours. ## Similar picks coming up in Nashville - [Veterans and Military Family Night at Adventure Science Center](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/veterans-and-military-family-night-at-adventure-science-center--listing-1d56a5f4a5aede3e29cbe0bf) — Thu, Nov 12 · 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM · Adventure Science Center · All ages · With admission · checked Oct 24.
