10 Ways to Explore Nature at Night by Go Explore Nature

Summer is full of warm days that blend right into slightly cooler evenings – most of which are perfect for being outside. Combine that with less pressure to get the kids to bed at a certain time and you’ve got a winning combination. Time to head outside and explore!

A few tips for exploring nature at night with kids:

  • Keep it short and simple. Since our kids are usually low on energy at the end of the day, we try to keep our nighttime exploring shorter than daytime activities.
  • Dress for the weather. Even though daytime temperatures may be high, nights get cool fast, so be prepared with jackets and hats if needed.
  • Be safe! Reflective clothing, glow sticks and/or flashlights are also important to help make sure others can see you out there!
