What to expect

An opossum perches on a tree branch during winter.

Arrive anytime between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to uncover answers to questions about birds, animal tracks, winter survival and more. The experience is self-guided, free, and appropriate for people of all ages.

The scavenger hunt could take around 30 minutes to complete, or longer depending on your family’s pace. All groups that complete the scavenger hunt will be entered to win a free family membership to the Sanctuary.

In addition to the scavenger hunt, activity stations along the Sanctuary trails will be open from noon to 2 p.m.

During the month of March, there also will be a new theme for activities inside the Overlook Building, located along the Sanctuary’s Paved Path. March’s theme is “Great Big Sky.” Activities will include “a day as a meteorologist” in the dynamic play area, a weather book craft, and information on the spring bird migration.

Admission is free for Sanctuary members and the cost of regular admission for non-members: $6/adults, $5/seniors and students, $4/children ages 2-17. No registration is required for the scavenger hunt. Be sure to dress for the weather!

The Kellogg Bird Sanctuary is located at 12685 East C Ave., one mile north of M-89 and just west of 40th Street. To learn more, visit birdsanctuary.kbs.msu.edu. Direct questions to birdsanctuary@kbs.msu.edu or (269) 671-2510.
