Program Description

Event Details

LIVE AXOLOTLS! 

"All About Axolotls" is educational and interactive, making it loads of fun for children to enjoy and understand. The presentation is filled with knowledge, fun facts, talks of responsibility, and even a deep dive into ancient Aztec history! From the three ways they breath to the green fluorescent protein that makes the axolotl glow, everyone will walk away with something amazing to share. 

Best for ages 6 to 11. 

Registration is required for this event as there is limited space. Also, in order not to scare the axolotls, we ask that caregivers help children to use quiet voices. No shouting out please.

Ashley Hunt, the presenter, says, "Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved all things animal. One day an axolotl came into my life!" Its uniqueness inspired her to support all who are unique, and to create the Amphibian Reptile Center (ARC) to teach people about the importance of amphibian and reptile ownership and care.
