Hop like a hare, sneak like a fox, prowl like a lynx, and howl like a wolf! Join us inside the level 3 Connections gallery for an afternoon of wild discoveries inspired by The Hidden Wisdom of Animals by Kate Siber and Kaitlynn Copithorne.
Every hour, we’ll share short, exciting stories about these amazing creatures—what makes them clever, strong, and full of surprises! After the stories, head to our Crafting Corner to create your own animal-inspired art. Will you make a fluffy hare, a sly fox, or a mighty wolf? It’s all up to your imagination!
Perfect for curious kids, growing animal lovers, and families who love nature and creativity. Drop in anytime between 1 and 4 pm, there’s always something fun happening!
