All ages will find enjoyment at the Whimsical Woodlands event. Imagination comes alive through the magic of nature and the whimsical side of fantasy created along the trail.

If you are so inspired, dress in a costume. However, costumes are not required to enjoy our event.

There is limited parking at JNC. We hope you can find a spot. However, an alternative is a short distance down the road at Bloomfield Hills High School. Please do not park along Franklin Road.

We do ask for a $5 donation per person, but this is not required. This is a fundraising event to raise money for our future outdoor classroom to further encourage outdoor education and engagement. Any food purchases are at a cost.

No. Pets are not allowed, even if in costume.

Yep. The make-up day is scheduled for Sunday, April 28th.

We will have a food truck and light concessions and beverages for purchase.

The trail surface is dirt and woodchips. We recommend that you carry infants and older children walk so as to enjoy the trail and all of its fantasy. If necessary to bring a stroller, we’d recommend a type with large wheels/tires designed for trails.

The trail is unpaved and made up of dirt and woodchips. It is also uneven. Good walking shoes or boots are suggested.
