Hudson Highlands Nature Museum Announces Free Admission for Parents' Day 2008
Parents and their families can explore Discovery Quest Trails Free-of-Charge on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27
Did you know that July 27 is "Parents' Day"? To introduce parents and their families to the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum's new Discovery Quest trails, the Museum is inviting parents and their families to enjoy a complementary Discovery Quest admission, for up to four people, and one free Quest Guidebook per family on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27, 2008. The trails, located at the Museum's Outdoor Discovery Center, Route 9W, Cornwall, are fun for all ages and abilities. They provide a unique, interactive way for people to spend time outdoors learning about the environment.
Launched last June, the Discovery Quests offer four different hiking adventures that can turn a day outdoors into a unique and memorable nature experience. The Quests challenge hikers to make twelve different nature discoveries on each trail. Using the guidebook, available for a nominal fee, hikers will explore the Hudson Highlands and make discoveries through a series of riddles, field notes, illustrations, and hands-on challenges. Local residents can test their knowledge of how well they really know the beautiful Highlands they enjoy every day.
Quest hikes range from an easy, stroller-friendly trail to a more vigorous hike of nearly two miles - and all trails are well-marked. There's something for hikers of all abilities. The trails also cover a variety of habitats, from wetlands to meadows to forest, and provide wonderful opportunities to observe wildlife. Plus, there's a great picnic area to make a full day out of the adventure.
The Museum's Discovery Quests are a low-cost, highimpact opportunity for families, and anyone who enjoys being outdoors, to spend quality time discovering nature. To redeem their complementary admission, Parents should bring their families to the Discovery Quest Visitor's Center on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27 between 10am and 4pm. Quest Guidebooks, which can easily be shared, are free (one per family) at the Visitor's Center. Each additional Guidebook is only $5.
