Wild About Whoopers
Thursday, January 7 – Saturday, January 9
The Cook Museum is wild about whoopers! Come see the newest addition to the wetland diorama in the Rivers & Streams Exhibit, a taxidermy juvenile whooping crane that was donated by the International Crane Foundation. Learn cool facts about different species that make their home in a wetland biome with the collectable card set. Find out why whooping cranes are so amazing in the Lunch & Learn presentation on Thursday and in the Science on the Spot presentations on Friday. On Friday and Saturday, watch a movie highlighting the conservation efforts made to save the whooping crane while trying your hand at origami cranes.
The Lunch & Learn presentation is $5 for non-Members. All other activities are included with a General Admission.
