Animal Encounters

Your family can meet some of Discovery World's animal ambassadors during these interactive sessions held in the Great Lakes Future exhibit. The program focuses on turtles and snakes—creatures that fascinate people of all ages—and gives kids a chance to learn more about these animals while interacting with them up close. It's a great way to develop curiosity about wildlife and understand why these animals matter. These encounters happen multiple times throughout the weekend, making it easy to fit into your schedule. Discovery World is open during standard hours, and admission is included with general entry to the museum. Whether your kids are budding naturalists or just looking for something engaging to do on a weekend morning, this hands-on experience offers a fun way to explore animals and nature in a supervised setting.
