Backyard Chickens 101: Fresh Eggs, Happy Hens

  • Crown Point Ecology Center 3220 Ira Road Akron, OH, 44333 United States (map)

Discover, Learn, and Grow in Nature

At Crown Point Ecology Center, we believe that every child thrives when learning is rooted in nature. Our youth programs combine hands-on experiences, farm-based learning, and exploration of the natural world to spark curiosity, build community, and nurture a lifelong love for the Earth.

No matter which program you choose, your child will:

  • Explore the farm and meet the animals

  • Connect with nature through guided activities

  • Learn about food, sustainability, and ecology

  • Create lasting memories in a safe, welcoming environment
