Early Childhood Pop-Up: Animal Tales - Islands / Little Penguin Exhibit
About this event
Animal Tales Join us at select animal exhibits to hear a story and test your animal imitation skills with a movement activity! Guests can join us at selected animal exhibits for a story time throughout the spring. We’ll read 1 or 2 books and practice our animal imitation skills with a movement challenge related to the animal we’re featuring each week. See below for the dates, times, featured animals, and book selections.
