Activities
begin from 1 to 4 p.m. with Children's Environmental Science Day. Treat
your child to a fun and educational afternoon of environmental science.
More than 40 interactive science activities hosted by organizations
around the region will be available for children ages 6 and up. There
will be information provided by Lake Tahoe research scientists, a live
animal presentation with Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care and a living green
seminar. Free ice cream from Susie Scoops will be provided throughout
the day.
Continue
in the festivities from 4 to 6 p.m. with the North Lake Tahoe Chamber
mixer and open house. Complimentary food will be provided by Sawtooth
Ridge Café. There will be a cash bar hosted by Incline Spirits
and also live music with Dan Copeland.
The historical
hatchery was built in the 1920s. The building has recently been restored
and is opening to the public for the first time since fish hatchery
operations closed in 1956.
The center
will be open on Saturdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Volunteer
docents will provide free tours of the historic fish hatchery and demonstration
gardens. Kids of all ages can participate in new scientific exhibits
and interactive games. Guests will learn about the historic hatchery
and current research. Learn the answers to all your Lake Tahoe environmental
and scientific questions.
The Eriksson
Education Center is located just a half-mile from downtown Tahoe City
at Highway 28 (North Tahoe Blvd) and Lake Forest Road. Due to limited
parking, guests are encouraged to walk or ride bikes down the paved
bike path and follow the “fish” to the event. Free public
transportation provided by the TART bus will also be available.
