About this Event
Join us at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park to see and learn about the amazing animals that appear in the playas, or temporary pools, that form in the desert after a monsoon rain. Once the playa forms, tiny tadpole shrimp and noisy spadefoot toads appear seemingly from nowhere. Learn how this is possible and see these animals up close and in person at this free wildlife event. Chat with local scientists, participate in family-friendly crafts and activities, visit our pop-up gift shop, and collect free trading cards that you can learn to play with in a biology-based strategy card game.
