Lakeside Nature Center offers a variety of events each year that are fun for children, families and adults. In mid-October each year, Magic Woods delights young and old as they walk along the well-lit Lakeside Nature Trail learning about native wildlife.

Each spring hundreds of volunteers pick up trash and plant trees along the Blue River.

Wildlife classes, conservation activities, special programs and enjoyable visits through Lakeside Nature Center results in something for everyone.

If you are planning a meeting, birthday or group activity, why not go wild. Host your event in our classroom or at our Lodge. Call 816.513.8960 to plan your own fun.
