FEATURED EVENTS

Come join Earth Spirit Staff for our FREE hike at Waste Management of Chaffee’s Nature Preserve. We will adventure along the rustic trail system in search of wildlife and their signs, such as tracks, scat, and shelters! During this program, we will be collecting data as part of an ongoing wildlife survey of the private nature preserve. We may venture off trail at times. Please be prepared for a moderately challenging walk due to the un-groomed nature of the trails. FREE FOR EVERYONE | Pre-registration is required

Weekends in November/December starting Nov 21, AND Tuesday, Dec 21: Experience the magic this holiday season! Join us for a truly magical recreation of the classic holiday story, THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride. THE POLAR EXPRESS™ with the Medina Railroad Museum is back this season! The 1¼ hour round-trip passenger excursion comes to life as the train departs Medina for a journey through the quiet wilderness for a special visit at the North Pole. Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, guests on board will enjoy warm cocoa and a treat while listening and reading along with the magical story. Children’s faces show the magic of the season when the train arrives at the North Pole to find Santa Claus waiting. Santa will board THE POLAR EXPRESS™, greeting each child and presenting them with a special gift as in the story, their own silver sleigh bell. Christmas carols will be sung as they return back to Medina. Certain dates and car types will sell quickly so you’ll want to book soon to reserve your preferred seating!
