Picnicking, scavenger hunts, and exploring our wooded nature paths are fun and engaging activities that can be enjoyed after class. Our restrooms are equipped with baby-changing stations. Strollers are not advised owing to stairs and uneven terrain. Please leave large backpacks in your car as we don’t have locker space. No food or drinks in the Studio and galleries, please.
