The park's geographical location is unique in that it covers the Piedmont and Coastal zone, and all are rich with plants, animals and stories of human history, giving children plenty of opportunity to explore and learn. Kids visiting the park enjoy visiting the exhibits and touch table located at the visitor center. 

There are several easy hikes that kids of all ages can go on, including Pine Grove Forest Trail and Laurel Loop Trail. For older children, the Farms to Forest Trail provides a good challenge and is an excellent day hike.

Get kids involved in ranger-led programs. These include guided hikes, slide programs, bird walks and guided explorations of various park features. A Junior Ranger program is also available at the visitor center or by downloading it online.

Check the schedule at the visitor center to make sure you take advantage of all the available programs.
