Where Nature Becomes Art
Free Family Fun at the Ogden Farmers Market
Join the Ogden Nature Center every Saturday during the Ogden Farmers Market for a free, hands-on nature and art adventure designed for curious kids and families.
Each week, children will explore a new nature theme through creative activities inspired by local wildlife, ecosystems, weather, pollinators, wetlands, birds, and more. Kids will create take-home art projects, contribute to a growing Community Nature Mural, and collect stamps in their very own Curiosity Passport all summer long.
Whether your child loves bugs, birds, plants, or getting creative outdoors, Kids Curiosity Corner is the perfect place to learn, play, and connect with nature.
