Family Fun

Bewitching Beasts: Scary to Lose

10/30/21
Tickets: $8.00 Garden Members, $10.00 Non-Members

Join UT Gardens for a celebration of Earth’s biodiversity and learn about endangered plants and animals. It would be scary to lose special creatures like koalas and gorillas, but that is what could happen if each of us don’t take action to help planet Earth. Come to the event ready to learn, have fun, and show off your best costume. Every family who has at least one child in costume is eligible for an enter-to-win prize in which a name will be drawn at random to award the prize. This program will be outdoors rain or shine. It is for children ages 10 and younger. Pre-registration is required. Registration will open at a later date on the UT Gardens website.
