Discover the importance of Missouri reptiles and amphibians and see what it takes to keep our education animals happy and healthy. Bring your family and watch as we introduce and feed several different reptiles and amphibians. Youth and adult organizations welcome.

Conservation Families

Did you know there are treasures hiding all around you? Geocaching is a fun pastime in which you follow GPS coordinates to a specific location or box filled with trinkets. In this program, we will discuss different types of caches, safety, and apps that can be used. Then we’ll hit the trails to find some “treasure.” Please bring a smartphone that can download the free version of the Geocaching® app.

Babes in the Woods

Explore the fascinating world of animals as we compare and contrast wild animals, pets, and farm animals through interactive play and sensory activities. Discover what it takes for wild animals to survive and how we can help. Babes in the Woods programs are designed to empower parents to introduce babies and toddlers ages 0–2 years to the sights, sounds, and textures of nature.

The summer air is filled with the sound of insect music. From the soft hum of bees to the cheerful chirping of crickets, each sound adds to the natural symphony. Find out how our insect friends create these melodies and practice making your own music!

Aquatics

Make a splash as we explore Whitewater Creek and discover the cool creatures that call it home! We will provide nets and containers for aquatic animal observation. Come dressed to be in the creek with clothes and shoes that can get wet (an old pair of sneakers or closed-toe water shoes work great; no flip-flops or crocs, please). We will meet at the nature center.
