Animal Encounters

Your family can meet some of Discovery World's animal ambassadors during these hands-on encounters held in the Great Lakes Future exhibit. Kids will get up close with creatures like turtles and snakes while learning fascinating facts about these animals and why they matter. It's a chance to see these often-misunderstood creatures in action and understand what makes them special residents of the museum. These sessions run multiple times throughout the day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, giving you flexibility to fit it into your visit. Whether your child is a budding wildlife enthusiast or just curious about animals, this is a straightforward, educational activity included as part of your Discovery World admission. Check the museum's calendar or ticketing page for specific session times and to purchase your tickets.
