SCHOOL VACATION WEEK PROGRAMS
Celebrate your school vacation and summer break at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. During school vacation weeks you’ll find family classes and workshops, nature walks, scavenger hunts, and a themed drop-in activity room with hands-on crafts, projects, and investigations for children of all ages.
Each February and April school vacation features a different kid-friendly theme designed to connect you and your young friends with the wonderful world right outside your windows. Learn, craft, create, tinker, play, and experiment together as a family.
Join us during the summer months for week-long day programs for ages 5-6 or 7-10. These full-day programs are for nature-lovers who love to hike the trails, investigate, craft, play, and experiment. Themes change from week-to-week, registration for summer programs opens in January.
Please note, New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill aligns its vacation week activities with the Worcester Public Schools calendar.
