Calling all animal lovers! During Animal Detectives, children and their caregivers will work together to uncover the secrets of wildlife.

Explore the outdoors as a team, searching for animal clues like tracks, feathers, and nests. Together, you’ll solve nature’s mysteries, building observation skills and a love for wildlife along the way. The highlight of your adventure? Meeting a live animal up close! Discover what makes it special and how it connects to the clues you’ve uncovered. This program is perfect for curious little ones and their grown-ups who want to connect with nature.

Your registration matters! If you’re unable to attend, please let us know in advance so we can offer your spot to someone else eager to enjoy this special experience.

Join us for a magical evening exploring the glowing world of fireflies! During this family‑friendly field study, our educators will guide you through the basics of firefly behavior, bioluminescence, and why these insects are important to our ecosystem.

Families will take part in a simple citizen science project, using easy observation techniques to count fireflies, note flash patterns, and record environmental conditions. Your data will help support ongoing research on firefly populations and conservation needs.
