WOW! for Kids: Reptiles and Amphibians 

Meet turtles and snakes up close for a kid-friendly live animal encounter in our Gallery! 

Discover live native reptiles and amphibians face-to-face - including turtles, lizards, and snakes - led by Megan Hoffman, environmental educator at Hudson Highlands Nature Museum, aided by tactile objects like shells, eggs, and skins of these fascinating New York creatures.

• Similarities and differences of Reptiles and Amphibians
• Life cycles
• Specialized adaptations
• Habitats
• New York State wild populations

Special attention will be given to the experiences these animals face in the wild, and ways the community can help with conservation efforts.
