However, please visit and enjoy our great parks and natural areas. Update - After April 28th: If you would like to register for WildFest San Antonio, please look through the events for availablity. You may register on-site at the Lion's Fieldr Thursday May 1st to Saturday May 3rd from 7:30am untill 4:30 pm or at the location of the event during the festival. Registrations forms will be available at these sites or you can print and fill out our - *REGISTRATION FORM - (opens in new browser window - please refresh the browser after it opens, for the latest up) and snail mail it to us. If you have not yet, please read further below for additional detailed information. Please note: space availability is not guaranteed after April 28th. General Information Most field trips are limited to 10-20 participants and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. These limits have been set by our leaders, and, in some cases, our venues in order to provide a rewarding experience for our participants and/or minimize our impact on the habitats we are exploring. Most events are family-friendly. Those with a minimum age limit are not suitable for young children due to any number of reasons: the need to stay still and/or quiet for periods of time that would be difficult for youngsters, physical demands in what may be very warm weather, complexity of a presentation geared toward an older audience. We have made every effort to provide family- and child-friendly events in every subject area.
Several trips require that participants sign a liability waiver in order to participate. Signature of an adult parent or legal guardian will be required for all participants under 18 years of age. Waivers will be available for your review on this website as soon as they are available.
All participants under 16 years of age MUST be accompanied by an adult. There will be no exceptions. Unless otherwise noted in field trip descriptions, trips do not present significant physical challenge greater than walking at a moderate pace over gently sloping ground on fairly level surfaces. Please contact us regarding specific questions regarding access for wheelchairs.
Specific size and weight limitations will apply for some caving trips. These are dictated by the size of openings in natural caves and will be enforced. Participants in caving trips should expect to get dirty and possibly wet.
San Antonio weather can change very quickly, but in general we can expect warm weather for our festival. Participants should check weather forecasts daily and be prepared for rain, warm temperatures and bright sunlight.
CLOSED TOE SHOES, SUN PROTECTION, WATER and INSECT REPELLANT are strongly recommended for outdoor events.
