Welcome Children and Families!

Do you remember the first time your curiosity was stirred by nature? Was it the flash of a firefly, the industriousness of ants, or the emergence of a daffodil? Programs at BRIT offer a means for introducing children to the wonders of nature. Come to BRIT and help your child gain firsthand knowledge of plants and animals that live on the prairie and in the garden as well as their own backyard.

 Explore our new campus!

Curiosity and an adventurous spirit are needed for this mission!  Visitors to BRIT's new campus are invited to pick up a guide with a map for exploring. You will travel through BRIT's building and landscape, using the skills of a scientist as you discuss and record your observations. Complete the tour once or many times, in one visit or several. We look forward to receiving your reports from the field!

Bella's Story Time

“Bella” is the host of BRIT’s family story times. These hour-long programs are designed for preschool-development levels.  Parents, grandparents or guardians read together with their child, side-by-side, and explore hands-on nature activities inspired by the season. Bella welcomes families into the Burk Children’s Library  to enjoy this one of a kind children's literature collection.
