Our 3’s program is designed to spark curiosity and appreciation for the natural world in children age 3 with their favorite grown-up. Each class includes art, independent playtime, group activities, story time, and live plant or animal encounters.
Cost: $15/child. For each child registered, one adult gets in free. $15/adult above that.
Current Programs
Animal Homes
Home, sweet home. Everybody needs a home; it could be a nest, a burrow, a shell or a hole in a tree. Learn where animals live by crawling through a tunnel, digging a burrow, taking a “home” discovery hike and more!
Wednesday, July 29 9:30-10:45a
Zookeeper for a Day
Imagine yourself as a zookeeper! Dress up in uniform as you pretend to feed the animals, clean up after them, and provide checkups to keep them healthy. Visit an exhibit before hours and catch one of Como’s zookeepers hard at work.
Wednesday, September 16 9:30a-10:45a
Tremendous Trees
Fall is in the air and leaves on trees are changing. Join us while we go on a colorful leaf hunt, enjoy a tree story, meet a tree-dweller and sing the “Oaky Pokey!” It will be a tree-mendous time!
Wednesday, October 7 9:30a-10:45a
Nifty Noses
Whether you call it a snout, sniffer, or schnoz, animal noses are pretty nifty! What do animals use their noses for? You might be surprised! Prepare for some stinky, smelly and fragrant fun, and meet some of Como’s “nosy” animals.
