Description:

Join us at Salato as we celebrate World Turtle Day! Visitors will have the opportunity to get an up-close and person encounter with some of the center’s resident turtles from 11am to 12pm and our staff and volunteers will be on hand to provide information about these unique and interesting creatures. We’ll have our popular Pond Turtle Obstacle Course set up from 2:30pm to 4pm that will show children what it’s like to be a hatchling turtle! Participants must “hatch” from their nest and dodge hungry predators en route to a water source. This activity will involve getting slightly wet with a sprinkler so participants are encouraged to dress accordingly. And rounding out the day, a turtle enrichment will take place at the box turtle exhibit at 3pm that will provide entertainment for the whole family. No registration required. Activities free with general admission.
