Perfectly Natural Fun

In a world dominated by video screens, it is important to provide children opportunities to get outdoors and connect with nature. At Fort Rickey, children are encouraged to feed the deer, cuddle with the baby goats and pet the shiny scales of a python or the prickly quills of a porcupine. Even our playgrounds focus on natural play and exploration.
