Animal Ambassadors

by jessica on April 28, 2008

My kids visited the Animal Ambassadors table at the Audubon Society’s Conservation Celebration at the Rust Nature Sanctuary last weekend. They are not squeamish children — I once ordered chocolate covered bugs for my son to try at his request — so they were happy to handle giant cockroaches and touch a millipede. In addition to these exotic animals, I was pleased to hear that Animal Ambassadors has plans to focus more on native species in the future.

I loved that the experiential educator (a mom!) staffing the booth actually let my two year-old hold an animal. The kids enjoyed checking their stuff out.

As a bonus, the schedule of upcoming shows on their website seems like a great place to start when looking for fun area events to explore on weekends
