APPLE VALLEY, Minn. — Have you ever noticed you feel a little better after taking a walk outside?
Doctors say that's because being in nature has a lot of health benefits for people of all ages. And that's why Children's Minnesota is partnering with the Minnesota Zoo for the first Nature Wellness Day.
The event will take place at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be yoga at the Zoo, nature play, birding, nature art and medical play stations.
If your child has a favorite stuffed toy or doll, they can bring it with Saturday to the Boo Boos at the Zoo clinic. Children's Minnesota and Zoo staff will be there to provide wellness checkups on the stuffed pals.
Activities are included with purchase of a ticket. To get your ticket, click here.
