We had some rather "reptilian" like weather for RAD Zoo.

Books & Stars August 3rd is RAD Zoo at Central Park

RAD Zoo's presentations are fun, engaging, and interactive. They provide an enjoyable experience for the audience, while instilling a greater understanding of these unique animals and the incredible lives they live.

The program will include ten different kinds of fascinating reptiles and amphibians, which could include frogs, a salamander, turtles, lizards, snakes, and a small alligator.

We offer an opportunity for our audience to touch some of our animals in a controlled setting, after which we provide hand sanitizer.

We maintain the highest standards of safety in animal handling, and do not use venomous animals in our presentations. 

This program is made possible by a SELS/SELCO Grant

In case of inclement weather we will move to the pavilion at OddFellow's Park on Forest Ave and Madison St.)  Check back here for updates or call 507-645-6606 (This is our last show of the 2016 summer season- thanks for attending!)
