Meeting Room

The critters are coming! Join us as Zoophoria introduces us to a host of creepy crawly creatures.

Learn how we can help animals by respecting our environment and learn how we can make small changes in our daily life that can extend to habitats that seem a world away.  Everyone will have the opportunity to truly connect with the animals in this program as you may safely touch the animals where instructed by the handler.  This program is appropriate for ages 4+.  Please register everyone in your group attending.
