When you visit the petting zoo, bee barn, and bat theater, you will observe features and compare similarities and differences in many different kinds of animals and their babies.   We have three baby goats and a new lamb, born on August 18, 19, 20, 2006.  Seven baby turkeys and four baby peacocks wait to meet you in the petting zoo.  You will also learn about their basic needs and factors leading to their survival such as climate, shelter, food air, and water.

You will be able to make similar observations of features and comparisons of similarities and differences in plants  as you stroll along the Nature Trail, gaze up through the Vine Tunnel, navigate the Crop Maze, and visit the Sun Dial, Herb, and Water Gardens.  Learn about some unusual differences in the land and water plants, especially the carnivorous ones!
