Have you ever wanted to explore the outdoors, create a masterpiece or go to space?
You’re lucky!
Our FREE Discovery Kit rental program is designed to help you do all of those things while visiting a park.
Each kit is designed to encourage visitors to explore and discover the park at their own pace.
