Critter Investigation: Merry Mule Deer

OC Parks invites you to come and learn more about the only species of deer found in Orange County: the merry mule deer. We may not be able to spot these critters at Upper Newport Bay, but you can find evidence of mule deer in many other Orange County Parks. We’ll learn about how to identify tracks and scat, as well as touch and explore the animal’s fur and bones.

This fun and engaging program includes a story time, an age-appropriate hike, and a themed craft.

The program begins at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center. Program content is tailored for the preschool level (ages 2-5), but all are welcome to attend. Minors under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Please wear comfortable attire and closed-toe shoes.

The program and parking are free. Adverse weather may cancel the program or move it indoors.

Advance registration is recommended.
