Classroom Presentations: Invite us to your classroom for a hands-on encounter with some of our remarkable reptiles, amphibians, insects, and arachnids. Concepts taught include adaptations, predator/prey, camouflage, habitat, and diet. We can tailor your class program to fit your science curriculum and provide an exciting hour of learning for the students.

$80 per class for 3 or more classes on the same day

Museum Visits: Join Brian for a fun-filled hour (or 2) of discovery and wonder! Dissect an owl pellet while studying birds of prey, examine our large collection of fossils, build a habitat for insects or lizards and watch them explore. Of course, each student will get to study and handle some of our many snakes, frogs, turtles, lizards, arachnids, and insects.
Cost: $5 per child for 1 hour; $10 per child for 2 hours
