crit·ter [noun]
a living creature; an animal.
At Critter Fest, we’re celebrating creatures of all kinds — visit the museum to make a new fluffy, furry, scaly, or slimy friend! Learn about the contributions of the planet’s diverse web of living things on our daily human lives.
During this entomological event, our scientists and specialists will be sharing a wealth of knowledge about the bird outside your bedroom window to the ladybug that calls your flower beds home.
