This is a great opportunity for Children and Adults to learn new interesting facts! As The Roy Hyatt Environmental Center is usually only open for field trips
for 2nd and 5th grade students of E.C.S.D.
The teachers Molly and Adam have completed many new learning opportunities. They now have a Beach Classroom a beautiful Butterfly House and a new beautiful building. One room is the Reptile’s room, another is the microscope room and a classroom. Learn about planet’s and Star’s in the inflatable Planetarium.
Everyone with kids, at any age would appreciate this little adventure!
