Daily Nature Walks

This guided walk meets at 1 p.m. daily at the Pavilions Overlook year-round.

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 18,000-gallon pond centerpiece of the Pavilions, offering insights into Glenstone’s ecological considerations and aquatic residents.

Please note: Any outdoor programs will be held in sunshine and light rain, but will be cancelled in more inclement weather.
