💬Take advantage of free family days every third Saturday from September-May 2025 to save on admission costs for the entire family

🕐Plan to visit the live animal room early in your visit to see reptiles, amphibians, and fish most active, as they tend to be more engaged earlier in the day
💡Parents with very young children (ages 5 and under) should attend STEM story time held every other Wednesday for age-appropriate interactive learning experiences
