ANIMAL AMBASSADORS  for Children with Adult Companions

Come to the Garden to meet an amazing array of animals, each with a story to tell.  Though animal ambassadors cannot speak in words, they can teach us about their adaptations for survival and their place in the natural world. After the program, you are invited to walk through the Garden, free of charge. (Note: Animals listed for each program may vary according to their availability on that day.)

RAINFOREST REPTILES

Would you like to meet some scaly inhabitants of our hemisphere’s endangered rainforests?  A herpetologist will bring a monitor lizard, a 7-foot boa constrictor, a red-foot tortoise, and a 3-foot alligator as well as a mini-zoo in containers to educate us about the role of reptiles in their ecosystems and the importance of preserving their habitats.  This presentation educates and entertains the animal lover in all of us.

You may pay at the door.

Event will be held Rain or Shine.

In case of rain, event will be held indoors and seating is limited.
