Painting with the Animals

During this unique experience, families will visit a featured animal and use their powers to create a masterpiece. To kick off your experience, Sunset Zoo staff will introduce the featured animal, highlighting fun facts about the individuals in our care at the Zoo. After the brief introduction and interaction with related animal artifacts, families will be guided through a painting experience using tempera paint and 8x10 canvases. Depending on the featured animal, experiences may take place in the zoo at the animal’s habitat or in a space more conducive to viewing the featured animal.

Join us for this fun family program to learn about the conservation efforts of frogs and toads in and around our area. Training will occur and an overnight observation will happen. During your overnight experience, you will get a chance to hear and maybe even see frogs and toads in action! This activity is geared for pre-teens and their families. Cost is $30 per family, and registration is limited.
