Discover some fascinating facts about opossums - and meet one! Learn all about these marvelous marsupials, then see how The Schiele's keepers train and care for Noodle, a Virginia Opossum who lives at the museum.
Opossum programs and meet and greets are scheduled for 11 AM and 2 PM. No registration required, but arrive early for best seating. Opossum Outing is included with the purchase of admission.
*Unfortunately, visitors will not be able to touch or pet Noodle, but pictures, close-up viewing, and questions about opossums are encouraged.*
