What else can you give for Christmas besides more stuff? Get in the spirit of togetherness with gifts of a shared experience. Gift cards and memberships are a good start. Give a gift of fresh air and sunshine with a membership to one of Jackson's fine outdoor attractions.
Jackson Zoo (individual memberships start at $15), 2918 W. Capitol St., 601-352-2585.
Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (individual memberships start at $35), 2148 Riverside Dr., 601-354-7303.
Clinton Nature Center (individual memberships start at $20), 617 Dunton Rd., Clinton, 601-926-1104.
What are your ideas for a local outdoor experience that is fun for all ages?
