Celebrate Earth Day and Party for the Planet! While you’re hanging with the animals at the zoo, look for our education team at the Florida Museum table for fun activities and giveaways.

We’re bringing live insects and real objects from our collections to show off and chat about. Test your nature knowledge and see if you can identify skull casts from common Florida species. Your favorite natural history museum is here for the Earth Day party!
