Animal Encounters

Your family can meet some of Discovery World's animal ambassadors during these regular sessions held in the Great Lakes Future exhibit. Led by the museum's team, kids will get up close with creatures like turtles and snakes—animals that many find both mysterious and captivating. These encounters give children a chance to learn more about the animals and develop a genuine appreciation for the species that live at the museum. These drop-in programs run Friday through Sunday at three different times throughout the morning, giving you flexibility to fit one into your schedule. The experience is included with general admission to Discovery World. It's a great option for curious kids who want to move beyond looking at exhibits and actually interact with live animals in a guided setting.
