Do you have a soft spot for scaly species? Then this is the weekend for you! Join us as we shine a spotlight on the often-overlooked but incredibly important reptiles and amphibians that call Seneca Park Zoo home. From lizards and snakes to frogs and tortoises, these creatures may not be furry or towering—but they play vital roles in their ecosystems and deserve just as much love.
This educational and fun-filled weekend is perfect for families, nature lovers, and conservation enthusiasts alike. Come learn, celebrate, and discover how you can help protect these extraordinary animals!
