Seasons of Science, an outreach program from Texas State University’s Department of Biology and the Hays County Master Naturalists, is bringing free, family-friendly science activities to local breweries this winter. Community members of all ages are invited to explore seasonal changes, winter wildlife, and hands-on nature learning in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Hosted at two local partners — The Shady Llama and Roughhouse Brewing — this winter’s Sensing Nature events transform casual weekend spaces into interactive science hubs designed to connect families with their natural surroundings.
Event Highlights
• Engage with winter-themed science activities
• Learn about local plants and wildlife at interactive education tables • Try hands-on seasonal crafts and games
• Join guided nature explorations • Enjoy time outdoors with family, friends, and local small businesses

Families can participate at their own pace through drop-in stations, crafts, and guided activities held throughout the afternoon.
