Groundhog Day at The Boonshoft

Will it be six more weeks of winter?❄ Or is spring on the way?🌷 Come hear Walnut the Hedgehog’s prediction on Hedgehog Day! 🦔

Our annual Hedgehog Day is back at the Boonshoft on February 2nd! This family-friendly event will take place from 10am to 11am and include a proclamation at 10am. The best part? It’s all included with regular museum admission.

✨The day promises not only education but also entertainment with a meet and greet with Walnut, our friendly hedgehog! You will also have the opportunity to interact with animal ambassadors from different habitats, make crafts, learn about conservation efforts at our Green Team table, and a native plant station promoting planting wildflowers hosted by Dayton Wild Ones.
