Bring the whole family for exploration of snakes, lizards, frogs, insects, arachnids, and amphibians. Hosted in the Bliss Room by ambassadors from Vermont Herpetofauna and Nature Center, this is a day at the museum you will not want to miss.

October 10th is also the last day that the museum is open... and the last day EVER to see our 250th exhibit CENTENNIALS: The Gilded Age & The Disco Era in Vermont's Rail City. Come out and send us off with a HISS!‍ ‍
