Inside the small natural history museum, kids can go inside a giant tree, walk under the creek and use a touch table. Outside there is a seasonal organic garden, a teaching pond where salamanders, frogs and insects may turn up (look, don't collect), the Sandy Bivens Bird Garden of native plants, a free accessible Nature Play area for unstructured outdoor play, and bird-feeding observation areas along the Hungry Hawk trail. A StoryWalk trail is under construction; meanwhile a story is posted along the campus sidewalk. ## Similar picks in Nashville - [Beaman Park Nature Center](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/beaman-park-nature-center--listing-66db4876fa153300f817891e) — Nature Center Tuesday–Friday 12 p.m.–4 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m., and by appointment… · Beaman Park Nature Center, Ashland City · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
