Ages 0–2 with Adult
November — Hands, Feet, and Sometimes Tails: Join us as we swing over to see the gorillas, orangutans, and spider monkeys. Let’s find out how these primates use their hands, feet, fingers, and toes (and sometimes tails!) to eat, move, and play. Sing a song to practice body part identification with your primate baby.
Ages 4–5 with Adult
November — Rockin' Reptiles: Awesome alligators, super snakes, and terrific turtles! Meet a rockin’ reptile in the classroom and find out what makes these animals special. Turn into an alligator, create your own snake that “sheds,” and build an alligator nest. Then slither over to the Aquatic and Reptile Center to see these creatures in action.
Ages 6–9 Child Only
November — Animals on the Move: Why do some animals pick up and leave once a year? Where do they go and how do they find their way back? Discover why some animals such as birds, butterflies, caribou, and whales make this amazing journey. Travel around the world "side by side" with migrating animals as you visit the zoo's magnificent migrators and make your own migration creation to take home.
