Come and learn what it takes to live in a harsh ecosystem like the desert. We will talk about what animals live there, what plants you would find there and how they all adapted to that ecosystem. Children will also get to meet some APEC ambassador animals that are adapted to the desert and go on a nature walk. Spots are limited.

For Ages 5-7 (drop-off) | $30 per child
