Interested in our NOVA day on Saturday, September 29, for Cub Scouts? Spend the night with us and be the first to enjoy the fun! Scouts will explore the Zoo’s role in conservation and how they can help conserve species during their overnight. Admission to the park on the following day, snack and breakfast are also included. Overnight cost does not include NOVA day activities, please sign up separately for these activities.

Create a beautiful cast of a large leaf and have a beautiful garden decoration that will outlast the frost. Cast concrete leaves can be used to create stepping stones or as a garden accent. All materials will be provided, and you can leave the mess here instead of making one at home! The leaf will need at least 48 hours to cure before you can pick it up to take home.

Nature is noisy! Join us as we listen to the croak of a frog, the trumpet of an elephant or the silence of an owl. Find out who is making that noise and how animals use sound in different ways.
