Rooftop Ramble

Rooftop Ramble, the gift of Pleasant T. Rowland, is a fully accessible four-season exhibit, programming, and community space. It highlights children’s innate connection to the natural world, explores urban ecology and weather, introduces kids to the wonders of the sky, and serves as a platform for discovering the interconnections between ecological systems that support life. The rooftop also serves as an appealing space for public and private events, receptions, and parties.

Highlights include the Clubhouse, a classroom that also includes a greenhouse, solar oven, live-animal terrariums, rotating urban ecology exhibit, and kids’ nature collections; the children’s garden, with a chicken coop, homing pigeons, and herb and salad gardens; and alternative energy demonstrations.

Please note that Rooftop Ramble closes at 4:30 p.m. daily.
