Celebrate Earth Day with family-friendly nature activities at the annual Earth Day Festival at River Legacy Nature Center!

This free community event is designed to inspire environmental awareness and help young families connect with nature through hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and engaging educational experiences.

Throughout the day, families can enjoy a variety of interactive activities, including guided nature walks, live animal ambassador presentations with River Legacy naturalists, and nature-themed story times.

Guests will also have the opportunity to meet local conservation partners and explore educational exhibits and demonstrations from organizations such as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Native Plant Society of Texas, Trinity River Authority, and Wild Birds Unlimited. Kids can participate in eco-friendly crafts and activities while learning about wildlife, pollinators, and ways to care for our planet.

The festival takes place at 703 NW Green Oaks Blvd., Arlington, Texas 76006 and is a come-and-go event, allowing families to arrive anytime and explore at their own pace.

Most activities will be held outdoors on the Nature Center grounds and nearby trails, so closed-toe shoes are recommended for those planning to join the guided hikes or nature walks. In the event of poor weather, activities will move indoors.

This event is stroller-friendly, making it easy for families with young children to attend. Restrooms are available inside the Nature Center’s atrium for guest convenience. Please note that food will not be available for purchase onsite, so guests may wish to plan accordingly before arriving.

Bring the kids, explore the trails, meet local environmental experts, and celebrate the beauty of nature together at this special Earth Day event in Arlington. 🌎🌿🐢🐦
