NOVEMBER FIRST SATURDAY OPEN HOUSE: MONSTER MASH!—Cryptozoology at the Wagner

Spooky stories, like an abominable snowman lurking in the mountain range, a sea monster hidden in Loch Ness, or a hairy humanoid leaving giant footprints in the forest, raise the hairs on our necks and excite our imaginations.

While some cryptids can be described as fanciful folk stories, or even misinterpreted/misidentified animal remains, others are real animals thought to be long-extinct. Join us for this First Saturday Open House as we highlight the real-world animals that inspire many of the cryptids people know and tell stories about to this day.

All-day Family-friendly Activities Include:

Animal Footprint Make & Take— See how cryptids and other animals can be tracked using their footprints. Make a cast of an animal footprint to take home!Mix & Match Creature Craft—Create your own pap
