Tico Explorers

Explore the Town Center — Curridabat

Begin around the central park and surrounding streets for a short introduction to everyday city life. Include a rest stop and use pedestrian crossings when moving between blocks.

Look for Urban Pollinators — Curridabat

Watch flowering plants in a public green space for visiting bees, butterflies or birds. Sightings vary with weather and flowering conditions; observation is an activity, not a wildlife guarantee.

Discover Ciudad Dulce — Curridabat

Read about the municipality’s approach to pollination and urban well-being. Ask the family how trees, flowers and pleasant public spaces can benefit both people and wildlife.

Compare Green Spaces — Curridabat

Choose two nearby public spaces and compare shade, vegetation and the sounds you hear. Discuss what makes one space comfortable for people and useful for other living things.

Try a Neighborhood Food Stop — Curridabat

Build a café, bakery or soda into your outing. A relaxed meal helps keep a city exploration manageable for younger children.

Design a Pollinator Garden — Curridabat

After observing real plants, sketch a small garden with flowers and shelter. Use local plant guidance when choosing species to grow and avoid touching or collecting insects.
