About the event

Have you ever wondered what wildlife is living in the park, hiding in plain sight? In this outdoor drop-off program, we will discover what creatures are living underground, in the water, and up in the trees through pond netting, log rolling, and more. We'll use microscopes and other scientific tools to take an even closer look at these critters, and even get to interact with our ambassador animals. Join us for an awesome animal adventure! For ages 7-11. Bring a snack, lunch, and a full water bottle, and wear closed-toe shoes. Meet at the Cypress Shelter.
