Awesome Alligators

October 7 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Learn why alligators are awesome as we explore their role in the ecosystem, discuss alligator research at the Yawkey Wildlife Center, and view alligators in their natural habitat. This program is designed to be family friendly for children elementary age and older, but all children must be accompanied by an adult. It will be shorter in duration and include material and activities for younger audiences. This trip requires little walking, but participants will need to navigate 2 floating docks and a pontoon boat to cross the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as a few steps onto the tour bus. Bring a snack and drink. This trip will start at 10:00 and run until approximately 1:00.
