Creatures of the Night at Sherman Library & Gardens
10.03.18
Creatures of the Night is a fun family evening on Saturday, October 6 from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at Sherman Library & Gardens designed for interacting, observing and learning about the many plants and animals that are most active at night. Visitors will receive a 'passport' to explore the Gardens after dark and visit interactive animal stations that delve into the nocturnal world and its inhabitants.
Get up close to Project WildSong's Ambassador Wolves. Weave your way through the Forbidden Jungle and get a close look at dissected carnivorous plants. Visit Bug Country where Adventures in Living Science will dispel myths of the creepy crawlies, take a look at scorpions under black light and, if you dare, stick your hand in the worm pit!
Meet special mammal visitors (opossum and rabbit) and a spectacled owl from the Santa Ana Zoo and don't forget to take your picture at the Birds of Prey Selfie Wall. There will also be arts and crafts, a scavenger hunt and a gourmet hot dog cart for food and drink purchases.
$10 Friends Admission / $15 Non-Members Admission / $5 Children 5-17
