November Animal Enrichment Day

Tickets

Nov 4 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Back by popular demand, AWCC is hosting our Animal Enrichment Workshops again!

Do you want to help create toys to enrich our animals’ lives? And learn about our featured animal? Then you would love AWCC’s newest event series: Animal Enrichment Day! The first Sunday of every month, AWCC is holding a volunteer animal enrichment building workshop located at the Center (in Bison Hall). The three-hour workshop will concentrate on constructing a particular type of toy and learning about our resident animals from our expert animal care staff.

Just like people, animals need toys … especially when living in human care. The enrichment items serve several purposes – they engage, stimulate and entertain the animals. And on the human side – they provide our participants with opportunities to create these useful enrichment items for their favorite animals.

If you are interested and sign up in advance, we will waive your entrance fee (FREE admission), but space is limited. Click here to RSVP for the event.

*Dates subject to change.

Please read our cancellation policy. If you or your party are not able to attend the workshop, you MUST cancel 72 hours in advance or more. Please be respectful, this workshop helps AWCC build needed enrichment items for our resident animals and we appreciate all the volunteers who dedicate their time to support us. Please email info@alaskawildlife.org or call 907-783-0058 to cancel your tickets.
