Families, are you looking for something cool to do this summer? Grab a mat, pillow, or blanket, and spend the afternoon watching a movie on a giant screen inside our cool Nature Center! Every Thursday in July we will feature a different animal movie at 1:30pm. The movies are family-friendly and fun for all ages. A short ranger-led nature program that ties into the movie will also be provided. Concessions will be available for purchase, however you are welcome to bring your own food and beverages – no glass containers, please. In today’s movie: “The Living Desert”, you will see desert animals do things you never thought possible – like scorpions dancing! This real-life Disney movie is both educational and highly entertaining. Laughter is guaranteed! Location: Nature Center. NOTE: This program is part of the “County Parks are getting Wet ‘n’ Wild this Summer” promotion. At the end of the program, we will be raffling off a free family four-pack (4 free tickets to the Wet ‘n’ Wild Water Park – a $160 value!!).
