FAMILY DISCOVERY DAYS


Spring EGG-ucation Family Days included bag crafts, trivia hunts, and egg-themed nature activities.

Explore the wonders of wetlands with hands-on fun and learning. 

Family Discovery Days occur in the serene environment of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. One of San Diego’s largest coastal wetlands, this county and state regional park protects nearly 1,000 acres of habitat that hosts more than 700 species of plants and animals.

During Family Days, hundreds of community members and children come to San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center for themed walks, activities, crafts, and live music and animal presentations. Family Days is always free.

Rosy boa was a highlight during Spring EGG-ucation's Live Animal Presentation.

Family Discovery Days is made possible through the partnership of San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, San Diego County Parks and Recreation, and San Diego County Parks Society. The City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation Community Grant provide additional funding.
