Fiddleheads nature class at the Arboretum; climate change and comedy

If you have toddlers or kids in preschool, pack up the car and head to the Graham Visitor Center at the Arboretum for today's Fiddleheads Family Nature Class. The $18 parent/child class includes time at learning stations where kids can hone motor and sensory schools. The main event is a directed nature hike through the UW Botanic Gardens. While you'll need to register for future classes online, to attend today's 10 am to noon session call 206-685-8033. For a free alternative, wander through the paths and check out the pond at the Arboretum's now blooming Winter Garden.

This evening at 6 pm, attend a stand up comedy routine on a vital topic: climate change. Led by "The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change" author Dr. Yoram Bauman, the talk is equal parts entertaining and enlightening. The event is part of the Audubon Center's Urban Naturalist Lecture Series. 

Also today, Cirque du Soleil’s 'KURIOS' continues its run at The Big Top at Marymoor Park. Check out our parent's review before you go.
