Creepy-Crawly Creature Awareness Weekend
October 22, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Slither in over MEA break, October 20 – 22, and get eyeball-to-eyeball with some of our resident creepy crawly bugs and spiders.
Use your creativity to make a spider craft, and learn more about creepy carnivorous plants. Get up close to interesting bio-facts, and learn about Como’s anaconda and hissing cockroaches at the Zookeeper talks. Xcel Energy will be bringing their 110sq foot Tiny House. Find out how easy it is to make energy efficiency improvements in homes both large and small.
