World Wildlife Day at Maymont
If you can’t make it to The Robins Nature Center for Nutzy’s big bash, there’s actually another reason to visit toward the end of the month (besides it just, like, being a perfect place for the fam to run around inside and see different animals, that is). To celebrate World Wildlife Day, Maymont is hosting a morning and afternoon of connection to local wildlife with animal feedings, games, crafts, and animal keeper talks, plus a 2:30 pm screening of Teach Me to be Wild at 2:30 pm.
Location: 2201 Shields Lake Dr (Maymont)
Cost: $8+ (included with admission)
Date & time: Saturday, February 28 | 10 am - 4 pm
