About Discovery Hallow and Garden

Want to get outside, get your hands dirty, play and have fun?!

Discovery Hollow and Garden is part of the Tamarack Nature Center in Ramsey County. Here you can play, dig, create, learn and explore without worrying that you are getting your hands dirty! That's a good thing!

Always wanted to build a fort and make believe that you are defending your castle? Here you can! Want to climb the cliffs to a pretty overlook? Sure! You can learn from the very sweet beavers and build a dam in the stream, or get your green fingers working and get started growing in the garden. And our favorite part - getting dirty! There is a super fun mud table that you can play around in and just slosh and splash about!

Also within Tamarack Nature Center, there are a host of programs throughout the year which you might just love. The whole family can enjoy discovery walks, learning about nature and its wildlife, photography clubs - and best of all - most of them are free and no registration is required so just pop along!

They have great classes for early childhood and pre-school, as well as fun day camps for 3 - 12 year olds. Scouts - they have programs for you too!

For those super active families you can test your navigational skills at orienteering, or when the snow is blanketing the ground, get cross country skiing or snowshoeing!

Nature is beautiful, so get out and enjoy the fresh air!
