## About

An adult/child pair program about invertebrates. Families meet the center's millipede, cockroach and spider animal ambassadors up close and learn about their habitats, diets and adaptations, then head out on a guided hike to look for wild invertebrates and finish by making a creepy crawling critter to take home. Each child needs a ticket and must come with an adult; one adult may accompany more than one child. Indoors and outdoors, so dress for the weather.
