Animal Ambassadors

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
