Daily Programming
Every spring in the land we now call Maine, hundreds of thousands of amphibians awaken to leave their underground homes in the pouring rain to make the journey to vernal pools, known as Big Night. Salamanders and frogs can travel up to half a mile, crossing roads to begin the next phase of amphibious life cycles.
Join us as we celebrate the upcoming spring Big Night with special programming focused on the life cycle of frogs, the importance of vernal pools, and interactive learning. Each day highlights a variety of educational, hands-on activities in addition to exploring the exhibits. All programs are included with admission. Meet a Frog requires registration. Check out our daily specials on the chalkboard when you arrive!
