Saturday Animal Exhibit Tour
(New for Winter 2012)
Enjoy our animal exhibits with a guided interpretive tour! These brief tours are
designed for small groups like your family or scout troup, and will help you to better appreciate the subtleties of some of the exhibits and
animals. Visitors are also encouraged to use these tours to ask questions about the local flora and fauna. What venomous snakes live in the
Johns Creek area? Why are those lizards on your porch doing “push-ups”?
Tours are approximately 15 minutes in length, and can accommodate up to ten people. Tours will cover both the native and exotic ectotherm exhibits.
