Fawnskin Mountain Story Time Runs Fridays and Sundays Through December 20, but Posted Hours Conflict

FAWNSKIN, Calif. — Families have more opportunities to attend Mountain Story Time at the Big Bear Discovery Center, with weekly Friday and Sunday sessions advertised through December 20, 2026.

What is the program?

The Big Bear tourism calendar describes stories, a warm drink and a family-friendly introduction to the natural setting of the San Bernardino Mountains. The program welcomes a broad range of ages and encourages families to explore outdoor exhibits and nearby forest trails before or after the session.

Which November dates are listed?

The calendar names Sunday, November 8, Friday, November 13, Sunday, November 15, then additional Fridays and Sundays through December 20. The program takes place at 40971 North Shore Drive, Fawnskin.

Important: the published times disagree

The event page’s heading lists 1:30–2:30 p.m., but its description says Fridays at noon and Sundays at 2 p.m. A separate travel listing also gives the 1:30–2:30 p.m. window. California58 cannot determine from these conflicting public entries which time is correct for a particular date and is not presenting either schedule as certain.

How parents should plan

Confirm the session time directly with the Discovery Center at 909-382-2790 before making a trip, especially if children have naps, school activities or winter travel conditions. The center’s normal public operating hours are Thursday through Monday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; special dates or weather closures may change them. Families should also ask whether reservations, admission fees or donations apply.
