Riverbanks Zoo: Unearthing Ancient Animals
Discover prehistoric creatures—megalodons, pterosaurs & more—in a hands-on learning experience at Riverbanks Zoo.
Take your child on a voyage back in time to discover the prehistoric creatures that once dominated our planet. This program explores ancient animals like megalodons and pterosaurs, examining how they lived and connecting them to animals we see today. Kids will get hands-on with biofacts and interactive activities that bring these extinct species to life, making learning about natural history engaging and fun.
Designed for children ages 6 through 11, this one-hour session keeps groups small with a maximum of 25 participants. Each child will also receive a curated reading list to continue exploring dinosaurs and prehistoric life at home. Registration is required, and if you have multiple children attending, you'll need to complete separate registrations for each. Spots fill up, so register early to secure your child's place on this adventure into the ancient past.
