National City Home and Garden Show

Thanks to a whole bunch of our fantastic volunteers, Lake Erie Nature & Science Center has been able to take a variety of educational animals on the road this week to the National City Home and Garden Show at the IX Center. In addition to the hands-on animal encounters, we're also offering a fun, heart owl valentine craft at our booth. Stop by an see us in aisle 500!

Check Out Our Wild New Wheels

Intense owl eyes and blazing comets adorn the eye-catching new 'ride' that will transport the Center's traveling wildlife and portable planetarium. Our new outreach mini-van is wrapped to reflect our nature, wildlife and planetarium programs. It arrived yesterday to the oohs and aahs of the staff. They previously relied on their own transportation to carry skunks and snakes and much more for our hands-on, educational outreach programs. Kudos to Patricia McRoberts who donated the beautiful wrap that puts the Lake Erie Nature & Science Center message on wheels.
