Accelerate your summer experience in Fairfax County Parks and visit the Wonder Wagon at one of its upcoming pit stops on the summer lineup schedule:
All Park Activations begin at 10 a.m. and run until Noon.
Dates and times are subject to change, check the calendar below for an up-to-date schedule.
The Wonder Wagon brings nature, stewardship and education directly to residents though engagement and guided activities. These activities include catching bugs and observing birds and exploring the world of plants and animals. Activities are designed to help people find nature even in urban environments. Additionally, activities like the watershed model will help residents understand their connection to nature by showing how simple actions affect the water they drink and the Chesapeake watershed.
The Wonder Wagon will create memorable experiences with nature in resident communities and will lead members of the county to seek out these experiences in the future and advocate for parks and programs where they live.
Look for our bright, friendly branded van cruising around Fairfax in the near future. The Wonder Wagon is made possible by The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia support, the National Park Service and donations from organizations and individuals to the Fairfax County Park Foundation.
The Wonder Wagon is coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Stay tuned and check this page for updates.
