Let out your inner explorer, artist, and space traveler with a Discovery Kit

Have you ever wanted to explore the great outdoors, create a masterpiece, or go to space?

You’re in luck!

Our FREE Discovery Kit rental program is designed to help you do all those things while visiting a park.

Each kit is designed to encourage visitors to explore and discover the park at their leisure.

They are available from the park’s gatehouse or store for visitors to sign out for a full or half-day.

Borrowing a kit lets you explore, observe, and discover the park on our own, or with your friends and family.
