All kids and families are welcome. Meet a variety of live animal exhibits, including the very popular birds-of-prey, reptiles, amphibians, cool “bugs,” aquatic life, and more. Explore over twenty different interactive and fun nature-oriented activity stations. A whimsical musician will be onsite again for interactive musical fun, and Ranger Rick will be all around the event greeting the kids and posing for photos.
