Programs for Families

Children play with handmade spider toys at a 2019 Wild Wednesdays event.

Educational programs for children and families are key to the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary’s mission of research, education and outreach.

Recurring events that are open to children and families are:

  • Birds and Coffee Chats | Online, 10 a.m. on the second Wednesday of each month
  • Wild Wednesdays | Select Wednesday mid-mornings in June and July

  • Southwest Michigan Cultural Membership Exchange | Sanctuary members enjoy free admission to five participating local organizations throughout the month of June.

  • Arts and Eats | The Sanctuary hosts several artists, who display their work as part of the annual late-October driving tour, which focuses on art, local food, and agricultural destinations found off the beaten path around southwest Michigan.

  • Fall Migration Celebration | Annually during the month of November

Check the KBS calendar for a full list of events.
