Opening May 24, 2025 You are invited to learn first-hand how the smallest, slowest, and weakest members of nature can not only survive, but thrive in the wild in "Survival of the Slowest," a new exhibit at the Fleet. Exhibit highlights: 19 habitats with animals such as frogs, hedgehogs, snakes, and more! Up to three daily interactive presentations led by wildlife educators, highlighting various survival strategies through tangible examples. Direct interaction with animals! Come scrub a tortoise’s shell or feel a gecko’s smooth scales in this one-of-a-kind, hands-on exhibit. Maple the sloth, Iggy the iguana, Aphrodite the boa constrictor, and 20 other live animals have come crawling into the Fleet to teach you how their assumed disadvantages are, in fact, secret superpowers. From Maple’s life in the trees to Iggy’s camouflage coat, "Survival of the Slowest" challenges you to rethink who is really the strongest in the wild. Come meet Maple and her friends at the Fleet from Memorial Day through Labor Day to experience life in the slow lane! Open daily from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Fleet Science Center on Instagram and Facebook
