Winged Creatures of the Night                

7:30 - 9:30pm

Moths, bats, owls - these are just some of the animals active at night when many of us are settled in our shelters. This wheelchair accessible program focuses on nocturnal life in the woods and begins in the Cradle's outdoor amphitheater. Children can make a luna moth finger puppet to take home. A naturalist will describe the special adaptations animals have for going about the business of living from dusk to dawn. The group will then stroll through the evening woods in search of winged creatures of the night

Admission for this event is $6.00 for adults 16 years of age and older and $3.00 for youth under 15 years of age, and Federal Interagency Passport and Federal Golden Passport holders.
