Night Hikes

Each year, the New Canaan Nature Center offers a number of Night Hikes for families. These fan-favorite activities include:

Owl Moon Night Hike
January 25th, 2025

Let the light of the FULL moon be your guide as we explore magic in the woods and unravel the mysteries of our nocturnal neighbors, the owls. We’ll discover how owls use their keen senses to navigate the night and learn first-hand how they can hunt in the dark. We’ll even “give a hoot” and see if we can identify owls by their tell-tale calls, before getting to meet a couple owls up close & personal.

Program will include an interactive night hike and live bird of prey presentation.
