Programs & Events

Interpretive Programs, Daily Discoveries and Nature Walks

Interpretive programs are offered at 2:30 pm on Saturday in our Marine Exhibit and 2:30 pm Sunday in our Natural History Exhibit. These lively programs are guaranteed to inform, educate and entertain you with the wonders of our local shorelines - check the calendar to see our current schedule.

On all other days we are open, our new Daily Discoveries program offers informal exploration during open hours. Join our staff in exploring unique things not always on display, like skeletons and fossils from our closet or animals off the dock. Anything that piques our interest is sure to pique yours too.

On Fridays, we offer guided nature walks starting from the portico of the NHE. These guided walks explore the shoreline and upland habitats of beautiful Fort Worden State Park. Nature walk times vary depending on the activity. Check the calendar for nature walk times and topics. (Photo credit by Hilda Anderson)
