The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum will host Winter Solstice Hikes on Dec. 20 at Prairie Pines Nature Preserve, 3100 N. 112th St.

A family hike is at 6:30 p.m., and a night hike follows at 8:30 p.m. Each hike will be followed by an opportunity to enjoy hot cocoa and hot apple cider, sponsored by Cultiva.

“The holiday season is wonderful, but it can also be very busy and overwhelming at times, which is why we like to offer people the opportunity to slow down for a few minutes, take a deep breath and enjoy the beautiful gift of nature,” said Hanna Pinneo, executive director of NSA.

Tickets for the Winter Solstice Hikes are $5 each (children age two and under free). Register here.
