Fernbank’s calendar lists a Live Animal Encounter from 2 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the first-floor Frances Wood Wilson Foundation Theater. A museum educator introduces animals from its collection, with the program recommended for all ages.
The encounter is included with general admission and free to members. It can be paired with the earlier ranger program, but the two sessions are different experiences: one is outside and ecology-focused, the other is an indoor animal presentation.
It is a useful option if the weather turns or the family wants a shorter outing before the evening Halloween schedule.
