Timeline

  1. 09:00

    Carillon Place

    Start with a light meal or coffee at Carillon Place. The Creperie is a relaxed spot to begin the morning, and the dining hall opens at 07:30, so 09:00 is comfortably within hours.

  2. 09:15

    Simpson Sensory and Children's Garden Park

    Walk west to Simpson Sensory and Children's Garden Park. Spend time exploring the healing garden and the Japanese garden. The artistic structures and plant varieties offer a peaceful change of scenery from the main campus paths.

  3. 10:00

    Moore Musical Arts Center

    Head back toward the Moore Musical Arts Center. Even if there are no rehearsals, the exterior architecture and the quiet atmosphere of the performance halls provide a nice cultural endpoint to the walk.
