Be Dr. Doolittle for the evening and "talk" with the animals! The Botanical Conservatory invites you to meet animals such as hawks and owls from Soarin' Hawk Avian Rescue; a black leopard, sulcata tortoise, green macaw, and boa constrictor from Black Pine Animal Park; and adoption animals from Animal Care and Control.
Chui, a black leopard, will be our special guest at Creature Feature. He is a male African leopard who normally shares his den with China, a male Asian leopard. Both Chui and China are two years old and were rescued from the pet trade and now live at Black Pine Animal Park.
Bring your family and friends to get an up-close look at all the animals and learn about their conservation, habitats, rescue and adoption.
Volunteers also will share insights into animal habits and habitats while costumed animal characters will hand out goodies to the children. Other activities include prizes and the Creature Scavenger Hunt, Make a Treasure Bag, Bug in a Bottle, Nature Discovery Box, Pot A "Spider" Plant, Flower Fling, Pick A Pumpkin and many other games and crafts.
The Food Court" will be open until 8:30 p.m. with 50 cent hot dogs, popcorn and drinks.
