Children's Nature Circle suggested adventures: a calendar of family-friendly nature events in SF Bay Area
This is a curated calendar of programs, workshops, and events put on by other organizations in the Bay Area, and focused on outdoor experiences and nature education.I have chosen to highlight events that are open to all ages and generally appropriate for young children (a few may have a suggested or required age range).I have also tried to include plenty of free and low cost events, with a few select higher priced ticketed events I think might be valuable. Some are accessible by transit, and some may require a car.To see a list of Children's Nature Circle events and classes, follow this link...
