Nature Passport

May 23, 2025

The Nature Passport is a free and self-guided activity journal inviting children and their families to visit the various Nature Net sites and spend time engaging with the natural world. Each site has a list of activities for kids to complete along with further information about the location. Families may work to complete as many of the nature missions as they can, or simply use their Passport as inspiration for their own adventures. Offered in both English and Spanish, Nature Passports are available at Nature Net sites and local libraries from now until the end of summer. Each site has something truly unique to explore, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and explore!

With a mix of indoor attractions like the Madison Children’s Museum and Cave of the Mounds, and stunning outdoor spots such as Cherokee Marsh and the UW–Madison Arboretum, there’s always somewhere to explore no matter the weather.
