Beth Girard will bring her menagerie of reptiles, including a legless lizard, a blue-tongue skink, a terrestrial non-tortoise turtle, and an aquatic turtle. Burritt will also introduce you to our education Snake Ambassador SAL. Kids can create reptile crafts to take home, mine for gems in our sluice, and enjoy Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream on-site, too. Bring a picnic and enjoy eating lunch on the mountain. You can also explore the park and check out our “We the People” activities. It will be a perfect day of learning and family fun!
