Toddler Hiking Club: Night Out in the Parks Summer 2025

Grab your backpacks and lace up your boots - you’re invited to join Toddler Hiking Club! Toddler Hiking Club: An Imaginative Nature Walk is an interactive walking play for very young children that takes place in and around nature play spaces and on trails. As audiences follow the trail guides, they are introduced to some friendly, silly, and musical animals who invite them to join the club through song, creative movement, and multi-sensory activities. Highly engaging and participatory, it is best enjoyed by children ages 2-5 years old with their caregivers. 

Toddler Hiking Club: An Imaginative Nature Walk is about experiencing nature and art while in community with others. Audiences are invited to walk 0.1 - 0.3 of a mile, depending on the park. Strollers are welcome. Be sure to wear appropriate walking shoes. 

We're thrilled to be bringing Toddler Hiking Club back to Chicago parks this summer!
