Wonders of the Animal Kingdom

Join us for a WILDly unique opportunity to meet some of the world's most colorful animals from J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue.

This vibrant, hour-long presentation explores the fascinating ways animals use color to survive and thrive, focusing on camouflage, warning colors, and mimicry. Featuring live animals—including snakes, lizards, insects, spiders, hedgehogs, birds, and more—the program includes an interactive Q&A session and, time permitting, the chance to meet the animals up close.

We'll be in the Park if weather cooperates, or we'll move the animals inside if it gets too hot, windy, or rainy.
