Malabar Farm State Park has always been a place for family, fun, and connection to nature. This August, however, the park is taking its offerings to the next level with a series of engaging and immersive experiences that promises a month of joy, exploration, and learning.

Farm Fridays: A Family Tradition

Farm Fridays are a staple at Malabar Farm, and this August they’re back with more excitement.

Whether you’re a farming enthusiast or simply seeking a unique family day out, Farm Fridays offer something special for everyone – and they’re free to attend.

Creeks, Critters, and Nature’s Canvas

On the same day, the park offers Nature Doodling at the Pugh Cabin. Preregistration is required for this creative experience, where attendees can explore their artistic sides through doodling inspired by nature’s beauty.

Guided Adventures and Creative Crafting

August 19 brings Crafts with Mother Nature, a delightful event for children to go on a short hike and craft with items found in nature. It’s a hands-on learning experience where creativity meets environmental education.

The Guided Hike on August 26 offers a trek through some of the most picturesque trails at Malabar Farm, guided by an experienced park ranger. It’s a chance to explore new paths, learn about unique trail features, and connect with nature like never before.
