Learning and fun for little explorers
Beginning in September 2025, the Trail Tykes schedule will follow:
Every Sunday and Wednesday at 10AM
Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center
To help support the program, the MTRP Foundation kindly suggests a $5 donation per family, per session. Contributions can be made through the donation ticket on Eventbrite or in person at the event. While donations are greatly appreciated and help sustain this beloved program, they are entirely optional. This program was created to ensure accessible early childhood education for families throughout San Diego County.
Every Sunday and Wednesday at 10AM, members of the 2-5-year-old set are invited to Trail Tykes at the Mission Trails Visitor Center to celebrate and learn about nature. And, of course, sing, dance, and have fun.
Presented by the nonprofit Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation, Trail Tykes sessions include a read-aloud story, singing, movement, nature-inspired crafts and/or a walk around the Visitor Center to explore the small wonders around us. Trail Tykes is free and open to the public, but families should register to secure their space. Please register for Trail Tykes here.

Trail Tykes is organized and facilitated by the Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation and supported through the generosity of MTRP Foundation donors.
