Included with regular admission. Join us this Pro-D Day for Meet the Keeper: Curious Crawlies! Learn all about some of the Gardens’ most misunderstood creatures. These educational talks are included with regular admission. From snake sheds and scorpions to tarantulas, mantids and other seemingly strange creatures, our animal care team will introduce guests to the fascinating adaptations that help these animals survive. You may even have the chance to see some of these incredible creatures up close and discover that the animals we call creepy are often some of the most curious, clever and important residents in the natural world.
