Group Visits
Schlitz Audubon welcomes larger groups to explore our Nature Center. Child care centers, summer day camps, senior groups, and other clubs and organizations visit here on a regular basis. If you are looking to schedule a group visit to Schlitz Audubon, we have a few options.
Self-guided Hike
This is our most versatile and common option for groups big and small. Your group can explore our grounds at your leisure, spending as little or as much time at your preferred locations. Admission is $8 per adult, $5 per youth, and $5 for active duty or veteran service members. If your group is composed mostly of youth guests, we offer one adult free for every five youths. Electronic copies of our trail map and seasonal scavenger hunts will be provided in advance of your visit. Cancelling or rescheduling can be done easily and free of charge.
Naturalist-guided Hike
If you are looking for a bit more structure in your group’s visit, consider a guided hike. One or more of our trained naturalist educators will lead your group on a 90-minute hike of our grounds, targeting the content toward the ages and interests of your group. The cost for guided hikes is $12 per adult, $8 per youth, and $8 for active duty or veteran service members. Please note that our Guided Hike availability is very limited due to scheduling and seasonal considerations.
Encounters
Looking to add even more educational components to your group visit? Consider booking one of the following 30-minute add-ons to your guided or self-guided hike (both options are subject to staff and facility availability).
Raptor Encounter
Meet up to three of the birds in our Raptor Program and learn about their species and individual stories. Price is dependent on bird selection, but ranges from $150 – $250.
Reptile & Amphibian Encounter
Meet some of the Center’s Reptile and Amphibian ambassadors including snakes, turtles, toads, and salamanders. Groups are able to get up close and have the choice to touch and hold certain animals. Fee is $150.
If you are planning a school visit, please see the School Programs section of our website.
