This event is a festival, a nature outing, and a fascinating museum trip all wrapped into one exciting day! From live animals encounters to fish feedings by divers in our giant aquariums, NatureFEST! offers something for everyone.
Families and young budding scientists won't want to miss live demonstrations of Mississippi reptiles, citizen scientist explorations, and behind-the-scenes tours with our scientists.
This event is included with museum admission or membership.
