Creatures of the Night October 30, 2010

From bats to owls to spiders, discover how some creatures have special adaptations or "tricks" that help them roam in the dark, at 'Creatures of the Night,' a special Halloween event at the Garfield Park Conservatory. Families can meet live nocturnal animals like fruit bats, spiders, owls and more, as they make a rare daytime appearance at the Conservatory. Visitors will learn about the creatures' ability to learn adaptation "tricks" and get a very special "treat" at special critter stations. Other fun activities include spider plantings, grow in the dark necklaces, bat origami and much more.
