## About

A team of reptile educators visits Franklin Park Conservatory on Monday, December 28, for winter-break animal presentations in the Garden Pavilion. Children get an up-close look at live reptiles and learn what makes these animals special, from how they move to how they survive. Presentations run at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., are included with general admission and need no registration. Before or after, families can walk through the Conservatory's plant collections and current exhibitions or eat at the Garden Café. A good option for preschoolers through middle-schoolers who are animal fans and need a warm indoor outing during school break.
