We’ll begin by introducing you to one of our hedgehogs. While you’re enjoying some great “meet and greet” time, one of our keeper / educators will tell you everything you want to know about these amazing little animals. After that, one of the professional artists from ArtSmarts will help you create your very own portrait of this guy. We’ll provide all the guidance and supplies, so you can focus on your masterpiece. Enjoy a great morning outdoors and bring home a definitely refrigerator-worthy piece of artwork. The cost is $90 for one parent and one child, and pricing is available for additional kids.
