Passport to Nature
Travel Through Your MetroParks and Discover Nature and Fun!

How it Works

Visit MetroParks facilities, participate in designated passport programs and get your passport stamped. When eight of the boxes are stamped, fill in the requested information and mail your passport to MetroParks.

What to Look For

Look for Passport to Nature symbol or the text Passport to Nature in Metro ParkWays or in the Calendar of Events on the website.

What You Get

Every child who completes a passport with eight stamps will become an official MetroParks Nature Traveler and will receive a nature traveler backpack, along with recognition in Parkways. Nature Travelers who complete additional passports will get gear to put in their backpack for nature exploration.
