Centre Township Branch

Large Meeting Room

Enjoy an up close encounter with live zoo animals. Learn about several amazing animals with the zoo staff. Ages 6 to 12 are welcome. Doors close when room capacity is reached.

Zoo staff may bring up to 3 animals. Staff will talk about the animal and then walk around the room with the animals so kids can get a closer look. We do not know which animals will come to visit us. The zoo decides on the day of the event due to the unpredictability of animals. Potawatomi Zoo reserves the right to discontinue any program in which the safety of the animals, audience, or zoo staff is in question. Learn more about their organization on their website. Ask library staff about how to use our Discovery Passes for complimentary admission to the Zoo.

AGE GROUP: | Children (6-11) |

EVENT TYPE: | Animals & Nature |
