Year-Round Guided Talks and Walks
Daily Nature Walks

A Guide and member of our Grounds maintenance team lead a guided Nature Walk through the landscape to discuss the grounds, flora and fauna, outdoor sculptures, and sustainability at Glenstone.
The walk is about one hour and includes about a half mile of walking in sunshine and light rain – in the event of more inclement weather or lightning the walk is cancelled. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Water Court Talks
This talk meets on the Water Court platform at 2 p.m. on Thursdays year-round. In inclement weather, the talk will take place in the Pavilions passage.
These sessions will highlight the plants and wildlife that thrive around the 270,000-gallon pond centerpiece of the Pavilions, offering insights into Glenstone’s ecological considerations and aquatic residents.
