North River Wildlife Sanctuary — 2000 Main St., Marshfield, MA

Autumn evenings hold a different kind of magic: rustling leaves, unexpected sounds, and the stirring of creatures that only come out after dark. This guided early-evening program introduces kids to the nocturnal side of the sanctuary: creepy-crawly critters, nighttime animal adaptations, and the forest sounds that make October evenings so thrilling. After an indoor introduction, head out on a short, guided night hike to discover what the sanctuary looks like in the evening. Perfect for curious kids and the grown-ups who can barely keep up with them. Meet in the Nature Center. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear suitable for up to 1.5 miles of uneven terrain. Children must be accompanied by an adult for the entire program.
