Moody Gardens Home School Days | Beyond Biofacts

---

Moody Gardens Home School Days – Discover the amazing world of rainforests, oceans and more as you participate in programs and exciting, hands-on activities. Generally, Home School Days are hosted on second Wednesdays. However, things look a little differently as businesses ease back into in-person events.

Moody Gardens is starting a new program ‘Beyond Biofacts!’ for kids of all ages.  These programs are interdisciplinary lessons that include elements of history, geography, culture, and conservation.
