Get ready for fun! On Saturday, June 27, Nichols Arboretum transforms into an open-air playground where fun-seekers of all ages can explore, create, and play at their own pace. Big Play Day is free and drop-in. Arrive anytime between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and let curiosity lead the way.
With a blend of open-ended nature play and hands-on exploration, Big Play Day celebrates the pure joy of getting a little muddy, meeting new friends, and discovering fresh ways to move, build, and imagine outdoors. Whether you’re weaving a bird’s nest, pounding a drum, or turning sticks into sculptures, every activity invites playful discovery.
A free shuttle runs continuously between the NC78 Parking Lot (1901 Fuller Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105) and the Arboretum throughout the event. Street parking near the Arb is limited.
