CROCTOBERFEST (ALL AGES)

Come celebrate the world of crocodilians with us! A portion of
the proceeds from this WDC fundraiser help support crocodile
conservation projects worldwide. Knowledgeable members of the
Chicago Herpetological Society will give short talks about crocodiles
and their kin, including some of our very own residents. Jim Nesci and
his world-famous American alligator, ‘Bubba,’ will pay a visit from
10 – 12. Come see the skull of a 24-foot saltwater crocodile, today’s
largest living terrestrial predator! There’ll be face painting, storytelling,
and other activities for children, craft vendors and other fun for the
whole family! Your $10 donation per participant will be greatly
appreciated and payable at the door. Kids three and under are free.
