The Niobrara National Scenic River Visitor Center is welcoming children of all ages to stop by on Tuesday afternoons for Nature Creations. Beginning on Tuesday, January 14th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, kids can stop by, create a craft critter, and learn about how that critter spends its time along the Niobrara River.
Each week a new animal will be featured, learn how Mammoths roamed the plains surrounding the Niobrara to why dragonflies flutter around floaters! Watch our social media for a craft announcement. Once the craft is completed, feel free to wander around the displays or ask a ranger to start the 20-minute film.
There are no fees for this activity; the National Park Service provides all supplies. The Niobrara National Scenic River Visitor Center is located at 214 W. Highway 20.
