$1 Admission to Celebrate the End of the School Year

School is out for Summer!

Join us for a day full of fun at Wildcat Bluff! From sunrise to sunset, we’re opening up the trails for just $1! Start the summer off right by spending the day in nature, hiking, picnicking, and exploring with the family

This is a great way to unwind with the kiddos after all their hard work this year, and its budget friendly! This event gives guests access to all WBNC has to offer all day long!

The Friday before, join us at The Don Harrington Discovery Center for End of School Bash!

Admission is only $1 per person, and free for members.


Can’t get enough science and family fun?
