Kids will enjoy a variety of fun and educational activities designed to teach them about raptors, with a special focus on vultures.

Crafts, games and interactive displays will make learning about these fascinating birds an exciting adventure.

Meet Druantia: Our very own Turkey Vulture, Druantia, will be present for a special meet-and-greet session.
