2024 Events & Activities
Please note, we have largely shifted our educational offerings to being online and will continue creating videos for our Instagram, TikTok and/or Facebook pages. This option allows more folks from a wider area to view the content and re-watch them if they’d like to see them again. Where we can, however, we’ll keep hosting fun and informative events in-store, so please check here throughout the year for details! Thank you!
In-Store Events
Fall Themed Scavenger Hunt
October 26-31, During Store Hours
Bring the little ones in to participate in our seasonal scavenger hunt! Pick up a form and pencil when you enter the store, search high and low for the items (all are under cover!) and, when you’re done, show your form to our cashiering team and receive a small prize to take home! There is no charge to participate.
Urban Safari Rescue Returns!
October 26, 1:45pm and 2:45pm
The folks from Urban Safari Rescue are about to test your ‘creep out factor’ and teach you a thing or two too! On the 26th, visit the Tropical House and see creatures like snakes, tarantulas, ferrets, snapping turtles and scorpions! They have brought many fascinating creatures in before, and we’re so excited to see who they bring this year! Guests will not be permitted to hold the creatures (but really, who wants to hold a scorpion?!) but definitely bring your camera! Presentations are at 1:45pm and 2:45pm and there is no charge to attend and no registration is required.
“Urban Safari Rescue Society is dedicated to the rescue, care and maintenance of exotic and other animals, and to provide education through lectures, in-house courses and outreach programs for adults and children, using exotic animals rescued from the pet trade industry, illegal breeders, smugglers, and with those animals who have been abandoned or neglected.”
Get Crafty!
October 27, During Store Hours (10am-4pm)
We invite you to create a craft or two at the kid’s creation station on Sunday October 27! We’ll have a range of ‘ingredients’ available (from twigs to dried leaves, felt shapes to googly eyes) but what you create is up to you! There is no charge to participate.
Coming Soon…
Holiday Season Activities & Pruning Sessions are in the works!
We are currently finalizing details on a number of fun and educational events spanning from November to February! From musical performances to ‘The Penguin Game’, SPCA Pet Photos with Santa to pruning seminars, there is a lot in the works, so please check back regularly as we will post events once they are confirmed. Thank you!
