Family Studio Forest Bathing Week

During Forest bathing week participate in fun activities like Lego Bonsai building and coloring pages.

Also join us both days (8/9, 8/10) for a Forest Bathing Giveaway in the Family Studio. The first 20 guests who complete the self-guided journey on either of these days will receive a Discovery Journal (children’s activity book available in English, Spanish, and Chinese) and a copy of Forest Bathing to Better Our Health.

Perfect for visitors of all ages, this dedicated space invites families to sit down, pick an activity, and linger during their visit to the Garden. Whether you’re folding intricate origami creations or coloring vibrant pages inspired by the beauty of the Garden, there’s something to spark creativity and joy. This interactive space offers a welcoming environment for all to explore their artistic side, providing a relaxing and engaging experience for both children and adults alike. Take a moment to unwind, create, and connect with nature through these hands-on activities.
