Bill's Backyard

Bill's Backyard Resources

Discover the natural world as you have fun scaling the Tree Climber, scurrying through the tunnel to the LookOut Tower, and scooping gravel, sand, and dirt in the Dig Pit.

Bill’s Backyard: Bridge to Nature invites you to connect with nature in a welcoming and safe setting. This addition doubles the Museum’s exhibit space and inspires children to spend time outside climbing, building, digging, and getting dirty while exploring the natural elements.
