Snakesgiving 2025

Saturday, Nov 29, 10am-3pm

snake with children

Snakesgiving is back! Join us and learn all about snakes with crafts, educational games, snake-themed activities and, of course…SNAKES!

Join us for exciting, snake-themed activities, including a create-your-own-snake for a slithery friend to take home! Visitors will be encouraged to see and interact with our current Live Animal Room snake residents: Monty the Python, Rip Jaw the Rat Snake, and Chilipepper the Durango kingsnake. With these friendly snakes, visitors will realize that reptiles aren’t so scary, just scaly!

  • 10am–3pm: Snake activities in Live Animal Room and Nature Gallery. Including snake buttons made with real snakeskin, make-your-own snake, and more!
  • 1pm: Snake Discussion Panel in the lower level, Ornithology Collection. Talk to the experts and volunteers who care for our slithery friends.
  • 3pm–5pm: The Feeding. Come to the Live Animal Room for The Feeding!

Enter with Museum Admission: $13 each

FREE for Members

Did you know? Our kingsnake was donated by Kyle Loucks as part of our Snakesgiving event in 2021. Happy 14th Birthday Chili Pepper! See him and more snakes at this year’s Snakesgiving on Nov 29.
