## About

Tales for Tots is a members-only program at Norfolk Botanical Garden where young children complete a craft and a walking tour themed around favorite garden storybooks. Themes change each week, with the same theme offered on two days. It is recommended for ages 3 and up, and an adult chaperone must attend and help. It suits families with garden memberships looking for a story-led outdoor outing. Pre-registered child tickets and membership proof are required.
