Head out to the World Bird Sanctuary for a special adventure with story teller Bob. 'Whooo' knows where the adventure will lead you: a squishy swamp, an ivy-covered castle, or an enchanted forest. Two things are sure: the adventures will involve birds and will be super fun! This free, half-hour story time includes a story and songs.
Story Time with Bob happens on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. until the end of October. There will be no story time on August 18.
Free.
