Hey, kids - tired of hearing "just look, don't touch"? Well, here's your chance to have a "hands on" encounter with Mother Nature. Tickle a turtle. Stroke a snake. Cuddle a crab. Get up close to a gator. And that's just for starters. The marsh, beach and tidal river will be your playground... so grab a bucket, find a net, take off your shoes and jump right in. It's great fun (and you might learn something, too!).
| Driftwood Nature Center |  | Summer is a time to have fun... but kids can play and learn at the same time. So discover the coastal classroom at the Driftwood Nature Center on St. Simons Island. Packed with activities, the programs are guaranteed to reduce summertime boredom.
