Mr. Drew and his Animals Too

AT THE MUSEUM!

Mr. Drew will delight and educate children during his visit with his exotic animal friends. This year we have 3 shows:

​

November 15th at 2:00

​

January 16th at 2:00-3:30 (WALK-UP EVENT)

​

March 13th at 2:00

​

Tickets are $10 per attendee ages 1 and up (show only), or bundle the show and museum admission for a discounted $15!

​

The January show is a walk-up event, which means ticketed guests can arrive any time within the 1.5 hour show time and see, touch, and learn about the animals as well as ask questions. The November show is a more traditional shows where the ticketed guests will be seated for a 30-minute presentation about the animals followed by a shortened walk-up. The March show is TBD.

Fun Fund

Give the gift of fun to another child this season with our Fun Fund: all donations will be used to gift admission to our programs and events to a family that otherwise may not be able to participate.

 

This project was born through the idea that as a community we can come together to offer opportunities to play to all children. 

​

To donate, please use the button.

 

The Fun Fund is intended to provide admission to special events and program or for the use of an Annual Membership. To use the Fun Fund, please send us an email to let us know!
