Sherry Nedens Family Activities
June 15 – October 13, 2024
Families can experience a world of fun at the Paine! Plan a visit to see the art exhibition Microsculpture: The Insect Portraits of Levon Biss and follow up with viewing real insect specimens through a microscope in the Studio, located in the lower level of the mansion.
Afterwards, play bug bingo outdoors and hunt for large-scale insect cutouts while exploring the gardens! While you’re here, enjoy a game of tag on the Great Lawn, picnic among the flowers, see plants and flowers through the view of a kaleidoscope, and discover more activities like a field station and music making in the Children’s Garden.
