Educator Appreciation Night 2025

Wednesday, May 7, 5:30–8:30 PM

Enjoy this evening at The Nat during National Teacher Appreciation Week as we celebrate you with food, new friends, and all things NAT! Enjoy our exhibitions, learn about our programs, and meet our education staff, docents, NATuralists, and Canyoneers.

Registration is required and will be open from March 17–May 2. Space is limited, so please register early. Registration will close when we hit capacity or by May 2 (whichever comes first).

This event is exclusive for educators (sorry, no children or significant others) as this allows us to host and honor as many educators as possible.

Please be sure to bring your school identification.
