JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (WNY News Now) – Audubon Community Nature Center is hosting a holiday open house that is all about the animals, celebrating Christmas with the Critters on Tuesday, December 27.
You can come to the nature center between 10 and 11:30 a.m. or 12:30 – 2 p.m. and visit with ACNC’s reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Attend a live animal program, explore animal artifacts, be creative at the craft station, make a gift for the wild animals, and more.
ACNC is home to many live animals including several species of turtles, snakes, and frogs. Two birds of prey also call ACNC home: Cricket the American Kestrel, and Soren the Red-tailed Hawk.
Admission for either program is $8 for adults, $6 for Nature Center members and children ages 3 to 15, and free for children two and under.
A gift from the Giving Tree in the Nature Center lobby or on Dreamlist.com/for/AnimalCare can serve as your admission fee; one admission per $6/$8 gift.
