Indian Creek Zoo, located just over the state line in Lambertville, Michigan, offers animal encounters. More specifically, they’re offering Sloth and Kangaroo, Wolf, Lemur, and Capybara Encounters year-round, even during their off-season (January-March). Kids and kids at heart will enjoy getting up close and personal with these animals. During the encounter, children will learn everything there is to know about the animals, their preferred climate, environment, habitat, dietary needs, reproduction, lifespan, predators, sleeping habits, metabolism, animal adaptations, etc.. All questions are welcome, yes, even those regarding flatulence, farting, and bowel movements/poop. Not only will children be able to ask all those questions they might have been afraid/uncomfortable asking in front of their entire class, but they will also have the opportunity to feed, pet, and get as many pics as they wish, including a selfie with a sloth!!
And kids aren’t the only ones who’ll enjoy the anticipatory excitement of this amazing hands-on enrichment experience. This momma was beyond thrilled and elated to finally check off, “A Selfie with a Sloth” from her bucket list!! Thx for the pic, Pokey! 🙂
This is an experience unlike any other. Not only is it a great way to provide a hands-on learning opportunity for your kids, it also makes for an epic birthday gift or even a fun date day activity….so if you’re looking for a unique and exciting way to spend an afternoon, look no further than Indian Creek Zoo. But do make reservations ASAP, these encounters will fill up fast!!
And what kind of an enrichment field trip would it be without testing/their knowledge afterward? Here are some links to test kids on their comprehension of their encounter…
