Bring the family for a maple syruping experience! Discover how easy it is to tap maple trees and make delicious maple syrup. This is a great family STEM science experience to learn about weather, tree physiology, and the chemistry of syrup making. Use the sugar maker’s tools to tap a tree, visit the Sugar House to learn how sap becomes syrup, and enjoy a taste of ICNC’s real maple syrup on ice cream. Programs are 60 minutes.
ALL maple syruping programs will meet at the ICNC Barn (6665 Otis Road SE). Fee: $4. Ages 2 and under free.
***PLEASE NOTE LOCATION: Maple Syruping programs take place at the Penningroth barn (former ICNC headquarters) on the corner of Otis and Bertram Roads. Your GPS will direct you to the Nature Center’s new Amazing Space building. The barn is a half mile down Otis Road from Amazing Space, heading east toward Bertram Road. The barn has its own parking lot.***
