Lace up your hiking boots and head to the Children’s Garden to immerse yourself in the world of Paco the Pacific Treefrog and Nora the Northwestern Salamander. Tales from the Shallows follows two young amphibians as they find their place in the wild, and their way home. Each “page” is printed on large panels along a short, loop trail off the Children’s Garden, taking about 20-30 minutes to complete.

This seasonal, self-guided experience is on display from late spring through early fall.

Due to stairs and uneven terrain, this activity is not stroller-friendly.

Included with regular garden admission for adults (children 12 and under visit free).
