This Friday, Animal World Experience will present “Going Green Around the World.” What in the world does helping animals have to do with Going Green? Actually, more than you would expect! In this program featuring live animals, we show kids how an ecosystem is made up of plants, animals and people that depend on each other for survival. We then explain what happens when parts of an ecosystem are missing.

Members of the audience will be chosen to participate in an interactive game that teaches children how every plant, animal and person is important to the balance of nature. As we show many of our exotic animals, we discuss how to help animals around the world which in turn also helps every plant or person. An opportunity to pet the animals will follow the program. Recommended for children ages 3 and up.

This FREE program is generously funded by Preotle, Lane & Associates, Ltd.
