Bear Awareness Week
May 11 - May 17
10 am – 3 pm
Included with admission
Meet with the Animal Care Team at our Bear Overlook for Q&As focused on coexisting with the bears that live in North Carolina and keeping wildlife wild and engaging with hands-on activities across campus!
Bear Q&As will be held all week (5/11-5/17) at 2 pm, and additional programming will be held on Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm.
Earth Day is April 22, and it’s also the kickoff for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Party for the Planet: Spring into Action, a yearly celebration encouraging folks to create habitats, reduce and clean up litter, and get outdoors!
Here at the Museum of Life and Science, we have a constant commitment to conservation education and action. We’re bringing some of our green events and programs to the forefront during this season to celebrate Party for the Planet alongside the many other participating AZA organizations. Learn more about the Durham Bioblitz with us and visit each Sunday this May to explore different green topics with hands-on activities!
