Story Time

Creature Of The Week Story Time

Adventure Awaits Your Little Explorer!


Looking for a weekday escape that’s more "roar" and less "bore"? Bring your budding biologists to the most unique story hour in Western New York!

We’re turning the page on traditional story time by bringing the books to life. Each session, we dive into a beautifully illustrated tale, followed by an up close encounter with our "Creature of the Week."


  • The Story: A curated, age appropriate book featuring our scaly, shelled, or multi legged friends.
  • Meet the Star: After the story, we introduce the real life "character"! Your child will learn cool facts like why geckos lick their eyeballs or how tortoises carry their homes.
  • Safe Discovery: This is a gentle, supervised introduction to the world of reptiles, designed to replace fear with fascination.
  • Perfect for Ages 2–7: We keep it interactive, moving, and sized just right for little hands and big imaginations.
