What makes it special
This isn't your typical weekend outing. Terra has transformed into a magical woodland where families can dive deep into the fascinating world of fungi and forest ecosystems. The star attraction? Guided tours through Terra's beloved "Under the Forest" exhibit, where kids discover how trees actually talk to each other through an underground network of roots and fungi – nature's own internet!
