Critter House Open Hours at Leslie Science and Nature Center lets families observe frogs, turtles, snakes and other native animals up close. Kids can see how these animals hop, crawl and slither in their habitats while learning about local wildlife. It is a relaxed, drop in experience that helps children build appreciation for nature.
