Ever seen a turtle in Prospect Park and wish you could say hello and learn all about it? What about a funny-looking insect, or even a spider? At Prospect Park Alliance’s Audubon Center, families can do just that with Animal Encounter programming, presented by Macy’s. 

This program is an opportunity for visitors to get up close and personal with some of the critters that call Prospect Park home, and even some that you would have to travel the globe to see in their natural habitat! Watch as Alliance Naturalists feed the animals, ask questions, and learn about the diverse ecology of the park, all while creating the next generation of park stewards who will care for and maintain this vital green space.
