Family Explorers: Hop, Slither, and Splash!

FOR ALL AGES
Herpetology at the Arboretum!
Join a DCNR park ranger to explore the world of reptiles and amphibians! Get up close with live snakes, frogs, and turtles while examining fascinating artifacts that reveal their secret lives. Afterward, we’ll take a short walk to Tyler’s waterways in search of these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. This program is perfect for families eager to discover the hidden world of herpetology. Come ready to explore, observe, and be amazed!
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
This program is best suited for elementary school-aged children with an accompanying adult, although families and siblings of any age are welcome.

Inclement weather will not cancel this tour; instead, we will move to an indoor location and topic.
